Will they be able to not finish your book?
I used one of those website shopping bags this week and I didn't see the feature that would let me save the shopping bag. I got distracted with other tasks, which is common. When I returned to the site, my shopping bag was marked as empty. Now I'm trying to decide whether to bother going back and trying to order the items all over again. It would have been great if the site had made the feature really obvious. They may lose my business by not having made the feature obvious.
Have you ever read a fictional book, gotten interrupted for some reason and you just never got back to it? What could the author have done that would have made it nearly impossible for you to keep going back and finish reading that story? Better yet, what can you and I do as writers that compels readers to come back and finish reading our stories?
