Optional Monthly Question: Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?
I do not write cliffhangers because I don’t like them. Since it seems that so many people do like them, I’ve learned to tolerate them, but I won’t write them myself. I have, and probably will again, rated a book lower due to an abrupt or cliffhanger ending in situations where I feel like the author is just dragging their story out to sell more books. If your book is less than 300 pages, do you really need a cliffhanger?

And now, on to the personal updates…
I have plenty to say, but I’m not yet ready, so nothing to update at the moment.

How do you feel about cliffhangers?
It may take some time, but I promise, I will eventually stop by your blog.
