DECEMBER 4TH QUESTION: Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories. And are they a turnoff to you as a writer and/or a reader.
No, I do not writer cliffhangers for any of my short stories, novellas, or novels. I dislike not having a satisfying ending to any of my tales. And, I don't read works that use them. Personally, I think that it's a scheme writers employ with the hopes of enticing the reader to buy the next book for a resolution to the first one. It's can also be a way to garner a bad review if the reader feels he or she is being cheated of an ending or tricked into purchasing another book. All my works, including my series, are stand-alone works that can be read out of order.
NOVEMBER 6 QUESTION: What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?
There are so many creative activities that I enjoy including woodworking, reading, painting, baking, and listening to music. Actually, my other interests take away from my writing, but I'm a curious individual who enjoys a lot of diversion and change.

Your bird house is so cute! Great job with all your craft distractions. :D
ReplyDeleteTerrific birdhouses! I keep little huts for hummingbirds ;-)
ReplyDeleteEvery activity we love can take us back to our writing. Sometimes I like to add little snippets in my current stories that come from those experiences that others may not have . . . even baking! Have any of your characters -- good or not -- done woodworking????? Write on!
ReplyDeleteI used to love crafty stuff. That was before writing took over all of my time. I love the bird house.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI never thought that some writers would think of cliffhangers being a way to sell more books.
Have a Merry Christmas
