I think it was Tricia over at Talespinning. At any rate, I hate that feeling, like I'm left hangin' forever! GAH!<br /><br />Thanks for your prayers about my son. And for saying I'm strong. I'm so glad I know you! Hey, have you ever visited my friend Danyelle over at Myth takes? I thought you and she would really get along. She writes fantasy. :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-44766821993416407822009-10-12T15:09:57.832-04:002009-10-12T15:09:57.832-04:00Thanks for stopping by, Tamika.

It was not part of any series. At any rate-I don't claim that I could do any better...it just left me feeling, incomplete, at the end of the book, ya know?<br /><br />Natalie-I imagine there may be some things left unresolved, often our own lives follow such a pattern, unresolved conflicts. As for your novel, I imagine your fabulous agent would have caught any such faux pas :)Kristi Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527544253341529009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-74808452035882464672009-10-12T11:59:41.204-04:002009-10-12T11:59:41.204-04:00I worked hard to wrap up all the loose ends at the...I worked hard to wrap up all the loose ends at the end of my novel.

You might check the authors website to see if they do.<br /><br />Since I write short contemporary romances, I do work hard to wrap all the threads up. Mind you, with it being short 5-6k, there aren't a whole lot of secondary threads to wrap up, anyway.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19177238389402380.post-50885532814765839872009-10-12T10:45:08.432-04:002009-10-12T10:45:08.432-04:00I also have a character I mention early on and the...I also have a character I mention early on and then never again. I'm changing him to someone else who does play a larger role in my story. I hate it when books don't wrap everything up at the end. On my next read through I'm going to pay special attention to that.Susan R. Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578747592345750650noreply@blogger.com
