IS IT WEIRD?

OMG Jasmine, given that the overwhelming majority of the books I even have are reference, I do that all the time. But when I used to read non-fiction, I used to read the entire thing. Just maybe not in one sitting. My mom does it as well. She does love her dramatic intrigue novels.... On her Kindle! Hugs, Michelle

Think I hate the idea that once I read the last page, the story ends.

No, actually it doesn't end; unless you let it. To me, part of the aura of the non-fiction book is that it allows the reader to continue to think of that would be the next chapter in those characters lives. Kind of like our own 'never ending stories'. Stories never end until no one thinks about them anymore and they are forgotten. Michelle

I can’t say that I have direct experience. I do think in terms of stories from a personal perspective. I suppose it is how the world makes sense to me in that events have a beginning, a middle and an end. Therefore, if I am reading a book, the end is an integral part and has to be read. It would seem incomplete otherwise.

However, I do know this. The more time away from an activity makes it harder to resume…

I known I must finish the story, I need to known if everything ends as I predicted. Since the series is final, that's what I dread. The story ends. As for other series I have really enjoyed I do find time away from the story, I loss the emotional attachment. I recently discovered a continuation of a series I read a while back. Whether I pick up the series again, I may just re read the whole series.

I have toyed with the idea of continuing a story the way I would like to see a story go. Sometimes I can daydream about it and it's good. But something I realize about myself, my imagination is just not as it use to be. Something I traded in my life to live a real life fantasy. I'll forever want for something that may be gone, hopefully something transition can reverse and my creativity grows instead of dying out.

But our story continues…
