Let’s dive back into our cliffhangers.
Consider the oldest joke in the world..
Why did the chicken cross the road?
A Cliffhanger is used to capture your reader and guide them through, but what if you launch your reader forward without giving them any solid landing strip?
Remember that the most effective cliffhangers are multi-layered and should be followed up by a very powerful, engaging, opening.
When your reading a book, which you should always read for pleasure first, go back and look to see if you.can identify the cliffhangers the author used to carry you through to the end.

I am an aspiring author. I love to work in my woodshed. I learned how to run a lathe which is my tool of choice for making lamps and bottles. I also love to dram and paint. Creating is my passion. I am a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 3.
I have recently been diagnosed with a rare nerve condition called CRPS. It has been a hard road for me but through this site and creating I hope to find some solace. I am a firefight 2. I have been an applied therapy assistant for autistic children. I have a degree in two years of accounting and have received my certificate in Medical Transcription. I love to learn and grow as a person.

I enjoy the idea of going back over a recent read and identifying the cliffhangers! Clever cliffhangers do not stand out and so it becomes a hunt through good writing. 🙂
