If you are reading a book, and every two chapters the same miserable thing happens, is it likely you will keep reading?  After maybe 9 chapters, and the 3rd, 6th and 9th ones are all the same, the characters running around the same block, going nowhere…do you keep reading?  Is there any point?

If a story can’t evolve, if the characters can’t develop, and when you know that no matter what happens in chapters 10 and 11 that chapter 12 will boot them right back to where they were, why continue with the book?

Books, and life, needs to evolve.  Being stuck in in that cycle is boring, and useless, and a waste of time.

Time for a new book, time to close the one I’ve been reading for so long, expecting and hoping for a different outcome.  Thinking that the writer, and creator, was smart enough to evolve the characters,  Well, I know there’s someone out there who can write a story I will love.
