For me writing the draft is the difficult part and polishing it is like adding the icing on a cake. Jessica's book helped with this part.Kathleen Kaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500241341014235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-72132207300655241672018-06-22T05:19:49.559-05:002018-06-22T05:19:49.559-05:00Kathleen,

Ending chapters with thrusters or cliffhangers is very important and especially for mystery fiction. We all need reminders.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-24228041646312847932018-06-21T15:30:05.861-05:002018-06-21T15:30:05.861-05:00You've convinced me to add Jessica's book ...You've convinced me to add Jessica's book to my collection of self-help books if I can get some time in to read it. I loved what you did with the reference to New York City being a great place to live. It turned flat into extraordinary. authorlindathornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605805996356003012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-20204112424396388382018-06-21T10:54:54.986-05:002018-06-21T10:54:54.986-05:00Thanks, Zari and Saralyn, for your comments.

I read the articles each month in the RWA magazine, visit the sites online, review the MWA literature, but there is always something I've forgotten. This is one of them. I don't know what my cliff hangers are, but you can be sure I will check them out...<br /><br />I just picked up ,Blinked, off my nightstand. The back blurb of the book ends,<br />"The last time ORBs roamed the Earth unchecked, a great war ensued, and Mindy knows things are about to get ugly..."<br /><br />I went to bed with my husband and woke up with a monster. (First sentence of the book.) <br />So those are okay, but I bet it's not every time. Thanks so much for the reminder by sharing. You are always an inspiration.
