Looking at the End

I'm the same way. I still haven't seen Flicka, because I keep coming in on the kids watching it (My almost 20 year old son LOVES this movie) I want to see every glorious minute of Tim McGraw. lol

He was my favorite too! I'm telling you those dimples! hee hee. But, I watched "Atomic Tornado" the other night on SciFi. And Mark Paul Gossler (Zac) was on it. He grew up cute!!!! Yes, I know he's not even 30 yet, and i'm 40. But I can still appreciate fine men. lol

Oh ok I liked Zak also. That's right they are younger then me to so don't feel bad. I'll be 35 next month.

I have "saved by the bell: the wedding" on video. I taped it for the kids, but I love to watch it. I also like the hawaiian vacation movie that they did. It was really good. I know it's kind of embarrassing that I'm a closet Saved by the bell watcher.

I did peek at the end before I finished....couldn't stand to see what happened.

I love that book. It's one of my favorites! Of course, being a history buff and it being set in Germany in World War II is probably alot of the reason for that. Have you read The Gift? All I have to say...is get the kleenex before you do.

I'll grab an extra box! LOL

That's probably the best philosophy to follow. I have a writer friend that will write the ending of her book first...and work backwards. She ends up with some pretty good stuff, though she won't get up the nerve to send anything in. I've read everything she's written, and she's really good.

It is funny that you mention that because I am a writer. I love to write, and a good story has a lot of action and drama in it, very little romance for me (romance drives me crazy, it is used too often in books), I heard about what happens in Harry Potter, and I must say that I am very disappointed. I still love J.K. Rowling, and I am still a think that she is an awesome writer, but last Harry Potter kind of disappointed me. I tell anyone the ending because some of you may not have read it yet, or you do not want to know the ending, but for me, it was disappointing. I expected more from this book, and I did not get it.

It wouldn't make a difference to me. i have neither read them, or intend to read them. Nothing against the books, just not the kind of thing that I like to read. i hanven't read the Lord of the Rings books either.

There's the twist thing again! lol If you're a writer, you can always see where someone else didn't go the direction you would have. At least that's the way I think anyway. I'll see a story and think..hmmm...I would have done this here instead of that.

Actually I like reading other people's writing because I like to see other people's ideas, style, & concepts. I KNOW all mine!

I like to read other people's writings as well. But I do find myself thinking that "if I'd written this, I would have done this here or that there." I have even gone as far as sitting at the computer and re-writing for fun.

Serves you right! hahaha. No, I'm teasing you dearie. I've done it a couple of times, but you're right, it seems to ruin the end, so I don't do it anymore. It was mostly when I was reading one of those romance novels, and the girl couldn't decide which of the two men she wanted. I would always just see which of the hunks was still around on the last page. lol

My husband will only read a book...if it's being read to him on cd. I tell him that defeats the purpose of reading. He says no. Because those that read for those cd's put such heart into it, he feels like he's there.

I just finished "Last Light" from Terri Blackstock. highly recommend it! It was one of those, you can't put down books. I just can't make myself look, because I'm afraid I won't finish the book if I know how it ends. Plus, my journalism mind tries to figure out where the author is going next.

That is an angle that I hadn't thought of, but you are certainly correct! It's so funny to remember her back 15 years ago...when she first came onto All my Children as Haley. She had all this awful looking black hari.
