If you’re anything like me, one of your favorite reasons to read is for the story. Not for the character development and interaction. Not because of the descriptive, emotive powers of the writer. Not because of deep, literary meaning hidden beneath layers of metaphor. (Even though those are all good things.) No … it’s because you want to know what happens next?
Or, um, is it just me?

Mine can be found here. Just in time, well, here on the East Coast of the U.S. anyway to still be on Thursday.
Booking Through Thursday on Friday :-).
Have a great weekend, everyone!
http://notenoughbooks.blogspot.com/2008/08/booking-through-thursday-stories.html
I’m a day late – but I did it!
A day late for my first one, but it’s at http://kehinde.com/blog/?p=641
A day late as well, but here’s mine.
Mine are late, but finally up:
http://beastmomma.squarespace.com/from-shelf-to-hand/2008/8/30/booking-through-thursday-stories.html
So, if we’re a day late, do we get a prize? How about two days late? For some reason, only in my bloggy mind, I thought today (yesterday?) was Wednesday. In real life, I knew it was Friday (Saturday, now). Anyway, here is mine: http://simpleletters.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/btt-what-a-character/
As the title of my blog post says, “Me too!”

You’re definitely not alone!:
Whoops! My post is here!
Here is my answer. I don’t have to learn to pace myself. I’m not like everybody else.
if a plot line is all that it takes one can read an outline, no for me I need the full mental imagery, of surroundings, moods, dialog etc, etce etc.—if its decently written, then yes its definitely a “need” to keep turning the pages and hating it when it finally ends, leaving me wanting more.
