Good Time Feeling

                                     
Why do you read?

--Fictional books, anyway.

To escape, to experience, and to live a life that's entirely different from your own. 

All right, maybe I just have high standards, but when I do find time to read (which is rarer than you'd think, being a writer), I expect one thing when I get to that last page.

Some semblance of a happy ending!


There's nothing like finishing a book and feeling miserable. And, no, not the kind of miserable that entails waiting a year for the sequel. But the kind where nothing was resolved, and no one ended up happy. At all. Talk about messed up.

So, down with the twisted, endings (and the moody immature boyfriends who can't decide what they want, puh-lease!). Sprinkle some sunshine amidst the clouds. Give readers one things that's not always guaranteed while they're alive: a happy ending.

Consider yourself challenged. Dance off, bro.
