Thanks, Julie! That’s always the struggle for writers: we tend to be more emotional than many others, which can be a blessing to create feeling characters, but it also makes watching or reading something with a sad ending even harder.
God bless you for using your compassion to help others! And I’m smiling with you to imagine God wiring you with a humorous outlet.

I purchased non fiction for my own growth and ministry. The first was Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst. I knew I would want to read it, but the response to the book has been so positive I ordered it with the purpose of teaching it as a Bible study.

I also ordered Chuck Pierce’s A Time to Prosper. He’s an author/leader that when he has a new release, I have to have it.

I am so invested in encouraging others and often work with women with such sad issues that I can’t emotionally handle a sad ending. I smile at your mention of Old Yeller, that absolutely traumatized me, as do all animal movies.

I’m a pretty intense/deep person, especially in ministry, so I find it cool that God would put on my heart to write contemporary romance with strong, humorous characters.

Great post!

I can see where someone would think Windows 8=new touch screen! As one who doesn’t have that, I see how great it woulld be to have touchscreen with Win 8 installed.

Thanks for reading and sharing!

we bought a new canon printer for my photography and it was amazing to me…WIN8 just went and installed the whole thing and there it was on my Surface!! Kind of magical LOL…I understand people have trouble with it…someone even asked me if they put win8 on their laptop, did that mean their laptop would then be touch…so yeah..there’s a huge learning curve!!

Hey there, my name’s Janelle and I sometimes blog about this subject too. Actually, if I may, let me ask you something.. Could it just be me or does it look as if some of the comments seem like they are coming from brain dead folks? And, if you’re writing
on extra social sites like web 2.0 site list, I
would like to keep up with you. Perhaps you could post some links to some of them?

Perfect analogy with the Calgon moment! I need that just about every day . . .

Boring! Oh, my! I’m totally with you, Lara. It’s the journey of getting to that ending that’s so wonderful in romantic fiction. I love anticipating their time together, enjoy surprises along the way, feel the conflict that seems insurmountable, plus steady growth and change in the characters themselves to make them better together than apart by the end of the book. It’s all about the process to convince me this couple is perfect for one another!
Thanks for inspiring my little rant . . .

I agree completely. There’s enough sadness in the world. When I read I want to escape to a place of happy endings. I love to read romances and now I write them. I recently had another writer tell me how boring romances are because you know the ending. She has every right to her opinion, but I don’t agree. Knowing the ending or not, I like experiencing the journey with the characters. How do they get to their happy ending?

I’m with you, Maureen. In fact, I think I might have written a similar topic a while back–but I don’t enjoy tragic endings in books OR movies. I want to walk away happy and satisfied, not grief-stricken. There is too much tragedy in real life so much of what I write are escape stories. Calgon, take me away! LOL

How can I hate you? I can be jealous because you’ve been to Cape Hatteras, but no hate. Thanks for your input!

Thanks, Natasha. I can relate. I’m learning to like (not love) my e-reader. I like it when I’m traveling, but don’t pick it up at home.
