Sequel

As I mentioned last week, I spent some time scoping out the sequel to First. I’ve had a couple of ideas and even wrote a few chapters for one of them but got distracted by other things. Plus, I’m not sure it was working the way I intended. I think I have a good concept this time around. It’ll allow me to totally change the setting for most of the story and bring in some surprises and twists at the end. It also allows me to use a different narrator and add a totally new point of view to the First universe. One thing I’ll have to do is make the narrator’s voice is distinctive. I mean, that should always be the case, but I don’t want it to come across as a new book with Lewis narrating, just with a different name. That part will be challenging, but that’s what makes writing interesting. If I don’t set up some sort of challenge for myself then it becomes effortless. And what’s the fun in that?
