End of a paragraph concluding a scene or plot point. (Ends Of chapters will usually hook you to start the next one!)

End! I hate stopping mid chapter… though @Siri has a point. I usually get sucked in to keep going. It’s a vicious cycle ?

I get interrupted by my toddler most days and have to stop at the beginning or middle. Now I try and read when she’s asleep.

I try to reach the end but if I’m pushed for time or sleep, a clean break in paragraph and/or narrative will do 🙂

Oh my, migraines are the worse. I get them occasionally and mine aren’t even that intense. I hear some people have them for weeks on end and can’t even function.

Those weeks are miserable. Believe it or not you can get tired of laying in bed and “resting”

I prefer ends of chapters, or some longer non fiction chapters I read, have a break of *** in the middle so I can stop there.
