It's time for another IWSG post, where we ask all our questions, release our writing fears, and support this awesome community!
Our lovely hosts for this month are: Ronel, Deniz, Pat Garcia, Olga Godim, and Cathrina Constantine!
The optional question for this month is: Do you write cliffhangers? Do they turn you off as a reader/writer?
I personally don't write cliffhangers, but maybe that is mostly because I've never written a series. I'm not particularly turned off by them if they are done well. Especially for a trilogy or series you have to make the reader want to find out what is next, but I don't think that requires a dramatic cliffhanger. If you've written the characters with enough depth and the story is compelling, readers should automatically be drawn to the next book or chapter.
I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday or at least enjoyed some well deserved days off!
We had a great time with a bunch of our family who came in to visit. Lots of food and laughter. My favorite dish is always the apple pie! What's your favorite?
We also went to see the new Wicked movie. As huge Broadway fans, we were blown away by it! We were moved to tears almost as soon as Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) began singing. She was absolutely divine! I'd love to hear your thoughts if you got to see it.
Happy Holidays to all!!
Kathy :)
My husband's favourite is also apple pie a la mode. Not often but when he does he takes it to his man cave so as not to disturb me. Bless his heart. haha. I don't partake of any type of sugar whatsoever. Happy IWSG Day, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time. I can't wait to watch the Wicked movie. Happy holidays!

Some series are better than others. When I love an author, I read her series, if she writes them. But even in a series, each book should have a resolution. A cliffhanger is a turn-off for me.
