First Sequel

In my previous post, I wrote about pondering a sequel to Next Time. My current project is actually a sequel, but to First. I’m probably about a third of the way through it, or maybe a little more. How’s it going, you ask? Pretty well, I think. There are already things I know I’ll need to go back and shore up, but that’s normal for how I write a first draft. I had a couple of false starts with this one, but I feel like I’ve got the right idea now. This one’s a little different from other books I’ve written in that it has two narrators, which switch back and forth with each chapter. The ideas I had before really didn’t lend themselves to a whole book and it was when I had the inspiration to tell two stories - two for the price of one! - that things started to take off in my brain and on the page. My rule of thumb is that if it keeps me interested then I’ll keep on writing it, but if I’m bored, then the reader’s going to be bored.
