Education

And they lived happily ever after.  That may sometimes be a reasonable ending, but you certainly aren’t going to keep most readers turning pages if the characters are already living happily from the beginning to the end.  James Scott Bell points out common problems with stories, most involving a lack of unpredictable challenges.

I can take two people, throw a world of obstacles at them, defy the odds, and still give them a happily-ever-after. Together. I am a romance author. What’s your superpower? ~Kelly Moran

‘Fairy Tales always have a happy ending.’  That depends… on whether you are Rumpelstiltskin or the Queen. ~Jane Yolen
