This was a first for this advice, so I really should’ve thought twice, lol.

The challenge in writing the series is balancing the backstory. So glad you stopped by!

As a reader, I have to agree that if I find a series I really like I get impatient for the next book! Thanks so much for visiting!

Even though I’m not in a critique group any more I still have two or three people go over the manuscript to make sure there aren’t any obvious plot holes. Love your title of “think twice.” Good job.

I can’t do it at all. I’ve never thought about doing a series, but everything I’ve heard is that series sales. People do almost everything in threes that I’ve seen.

Especially if you’re a pantser!!!
