Now, IWSG hosts have changed up the format in an effort to make it more fun and interactive. Every month, they will announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.
Don’t forget to visit others that day to see their answers. Want to join, or learn more? Visit our - Sign-up List.
DECEMBER QUESTION - Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?
MY ANSWER - I'm not a fan of cliffhangers at the end of a story. I think they are fine for the end of a chapter, but not for a book - not even if that book is part of a series. Life is uncertain enough. I want closure at the end of my story. Even if it's not a "happily ever after".
How about you? Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?

I don't mind a good cliffhanger, if I love the book. And I look forward to the next installment. Have a Merry Christmas!
I'm like Cathrina. I don't mind good cliffhangers. Happy Holidays!
Good point that life is uncertain enough. That's why we read - for stories that do end in certainty.
Definitely better for chapter endings rather than book endings!
I hate it when a book, movie, or series doesn't wrap things up and they leave you hanging. Netflix had a series I adored but it didn't get picked up for another season. I wanted to slap my TV.
