What is up with authors throwing out all these questions at the end of their chapters? I know you gotta throw out a red herring or two, but you don't have to actually ASK questions. We, the readers, are already asking ourselves those questions. And if we're not, then we probably don't care much about the story. Being a writer, myself, I never commited this literary crime, but then again, I only wrote a couple stories, and most of 'em aren't finished. I hope that bringing attention to these heinous acts will hopefully bring you people to your senses. (If you do ask questions in your stories, don't think that I'm attacking you. I'm just asking questions.)
