Help! I think I’m going to give up on this. Should I or no? I made it 183 pages, and I just don’t care about any of the characters and James is not articulate enough for me to really know what is going on 100% of the time—I don’t like his writing style, if it’s a tree say it’s a tree for gosh sake. I need advice—What do you think?? Should I stick it out another 200 pages? I’ve been trying to choke it down for a month!

I'm a freelance writer and historical researcher in Detroit. I hold a master’s degree in education from Oakland University with a concentration in English and history. In addition to being the author of the historical fiction novel, Proper Mourning, my fiction and poetry have appeared in Halcyone Magazine, The 3288 Review, The Write Launch, and the Ketchup Press. My nonfiction has been featured in Valley Living Magazine, Michigan Out of Doors Magazine, and Planet Detroit News. I have won awards for my writing through Oakland University, and I'm currently producing and directing a documentary film about economic and social change in one of Detroit’s oldest neighborhoods. In my spare time, I whittle, repair broken violins, and I love to fish. I reside somewhere in Michigan with my husband, children, and the fastest dog that ever lived.

BOOKS AND LOST STORIES 
Toss the book. Life is too short to waste time on a book that is doing nothing for you. Having said that, I’ll admit I usually make myself finish anything I start.

I know! It’s so hard! I just closed the thing without the bookmark and put it back on my shelf. Now that I’ve done that I feel better leaving it.

That was a good way to separate yourself from the book. Way to go!

Ditch the book. Life is too short to spend it reading things you really don’t like when there are so many other books you do like waiting to be enjoyed. 🙂 Books are not vegetables that have to be choked down. 😉

Dump it! You have much more stamina than I do when it comes to a bad read. There are so many fun things to do in life – a bad read just keeps you away from them. Thank you for toughing it out and sharing!
