Cliffhanger haters
I see them everywhere, the cliffhanger haters. They despise an ending which leaves you desperate to know more and angry the story wasn't wrapped up in a nice bow in one book. Cliffhanger haters ruin their entire reading experience by succumbing to the ridiculous notion that a story was written simply to please their personal idea of Happily Ever After.
I don't write stories to make money; although, it is nice when I do. I don't write them to be praised or doted on. In fact, I get slightly embarassed when people tell me how much they like my books. I am a shy girl! I do write books for me. I know what I like and I know the characters I am creating. My stories have been written and rewritten in my head over and over again for the last five years.
"Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it." ― Dr. Seuss
I LOVE CLIFFHANGERS!!! If you want to know the truth, I prefer every book in a series to end with a twist I never saw coming and a reason to leave me dreaming of the journey to come. When I read the first book in a series, you can bet I won't come back if the ending doesn't stick with me. And yes, maybe that is just MY personal preference but I am forced to read my own books repeatedly. So, why wouldn't I want to go out with a bang and have my mind working overtime to build the next book?
No hate to the haters of cliffhangers. Just know that if you can't handle falling in love with a story and having to wait for the next book to be released, then pass on by. I plan to leave you breathless every time and I make no excuses for dreaming BIG.
Aren't you tired of guessing the end of a story? I know I sure as hell am! I hope you can NEVER guess what happens next when you read my books. If I don't make it to a best sellers list, I'll be alright. Especially with all the love I get from readers who are waiting with bated breath to find out what happens next.
