What I came to understand the other night is that it really IS all about beginnings and endings. We look forward to these things/times in the 'in-between' because the 'in-between' can be somewhat dull...
It's like books, I've decided. In order to hold interest there has to be a hope for an exciting ending, and plenty of small beginnings and endings in between!
It's like celebrating graduation, birthdays especially. We celebrate the end of that age forever, and the beginning of a NEW age. Beginnings and Endings are all that matter, and they are the make or break of any good story, or life!
I was thinking about this while reading Blue Moon by Alyson Noel. In theory, you want the two main characters to stay together and live happily ever after right away, but then there would BE no second, third, fourth... you get my point. It's necessary to create an 'ending' so that we can look forward to a new 'beginning' ... and the cycle continues!
Just think about it, it's true! Anything exciting is either the end of something, or the beginning...
Even eating, cause it's the end of hunger num num...

When I begin a great book series, I look forward to reading the next installment, then the next, and so on. (If you've never felt that way, well I'm sorry about that.) Many authors can capture your imagination, and run with it. Unfortunately, at the end of a series, they have to give it back. Or do they? Abra's books have a way of keeping your imagination mobile. Will mine come in for a landing? Guess I'll have to wait & see...Bring it on "Knight Angels"!
