Sorry for this, I was posting when you posted, Saxony!

It is always very important to give clues to leave the reader curious, if you don't give any, it gets a little boring waiting for the big event.

But it's also important not to give it away, becuase if they know what will happen, what's the use of reading the rest?

I am still lagging behing on my lotr reading, I'm reading 'the Muster of Rohan' of the Return of the King, but after visitng the downs frequently, I know just about how it all plays out, so I find it now extremely boring to read the rest of it.
