@Anna I hadn't thought so much about the book starting out too soon in in the same way, but you've got a point. Perhaps I should follow this up with a post about being fashionably late by entering the story in the middle of the action!

Good advice and great analogy! I hate long goodbyes.

Great post! My husband and I have a friend who’s always the first one at a party and always the last one to leave. I’m trying to imagine how a book like that would look – I guess it would start way before anything happens and end long after everything has been resolved. Probably not that great of a read.

I’ve already commented on it over on MW, but it was such a great point I thought I’d come over here and do so again.
