Dont you hate waiting?!
I do!! Besides waiting for The Reckoning by Kelly Armstrong to come out in July, Ive been readin a Harry Potter Fan fiction for little over 5 years because she updates one chapter a year.Dont you consider that a hell of a commitment? I would because she is totally worth it!! Ive been waitin for the next chapter to A Sojourn with Severus Snape By MarieGoos on Fanfiction.net since January of this year and its already gonna be 2010!!!
I mean I understand shes busy with real life stuffs and that jazz but I dont know Im just really impatient sometime.
So main question dont you hate waitin on books or chapter updates when you read it when it just came out and they left you on a cliff hanger?

I hate that! I remember when I started reading Inkheart, an AWESOME book that you should consider reading, and when I finished it, I started Inkspell. When I finished it, I asked my friend Kiersten what the next book was called. She said it was called Inkdeath, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE RELEASED UNTIL OCTOBER!! It was like May! It had actually already released, but the author is German, so they hadn't released the ENGLISH version yet.

I HATE that! It's so annoying. When I finally read the third one, I'd forgotten like half of what happened in books one and two.

She will take it as a giant compliment you're so anxious to read it. :) I don't read serials unless I can get hold of all the books in the series at once, or at least three of them that follow on from each other. For that very reason! I haven't got the patience to hang in there waiting and will go read something else instead.

Do you mean sequals? You said serials. Lol! No offense. I make mistakes like that all the time.

She used the word correctly, Callie. That wasn't a mistake. They are different words.
The first rule of saying something like that is to check your facts. The second rule is not to make mistakes yourself when correcting someone. Yours was wrong. Sequals should be sequels. No offense LOL.
