I...I'm having a hard time finishing my sequel! I've been getting requests right and left for it too! I had to put it aside for a few and work on something else. Next month I'm going back to it. One thing I found is writing sequels are harder than I thought. You have to be careful with doing the backstory dump but still have new readers not get lost.<br /><br />Personally Stephanie has been nudging me to get back to her story. When I left her she'd just stumbled on a secret that even surprised me!Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-40408653647177513582011-01-14T12:22:03.191-05:002011-01-14T12:22:03.191-05:00I hear you loud and clear, Janet.

I have a lot of balloon strings to capture, tho, and I'm not sure I've done that yet. But how do you? I mean really? It's like life - there is always something more around the corner. I don't think that catching all of those strings is really possible.JennaKay Francis, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368375498230907986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-12646809358642587632011-01-13T22:54:22.958-05:002011-01-13T22:54:22.958-05:00I haven't written a series, but my characters ...I haven't written a series, but my characters tend to linger with me for a while after The End. One of them has even enticed me to write a second story for her. We'll see how it goes. I'm about halfway through now.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-1413191372501178142011-01-13T19:35:08.321-05:002011-01-13T19:35:08.321-05:00I have a hard time with endings.

It's like I don't want my characters to leave me.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-72021035120615502982011-01-13T11:27:03.789-05:002011-01-13T11:27:03.789-05:00My characters don't leave me when I get to the...My characters don't leave me when I get to the end of the book, so writing THE END feels joyful to me rather than sad. These folks remain friends, as crazy as that may sound to non-writers.<br /><br />MalcolmMalcolm R. Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840134761199335243noreply@blogger.com
