Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Optional 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?
My answer is simple. Absolutely NOT! I loathe cliffhangers. If I find out a book ends on a cliffhanger, I will stop reading until the series is complete. IF I ever come back to it.
This year I stopped reading one of my favorite authors because she did a cliffhanger with no warning. It was the THIRTEENTH book in the series and NONE of them had ended in a cliffhanger. I don't trust her anymore, and I will never read another book written by her.
So, year. I feel strongly about this.
But I know many people love them? Do you?
