The Agony of Writing a Sequel

So I see all these writers banging out follow-ups to their novels and yet I'm struggling...why?? I'm not exactly sure but I will be honest and say that it is hard work chronicling the life of your characters beyond the 1st book....especially if you didn't view the initial release as a series.

I am hard at work traversing the battlefield of writing and am often in awe of the other authors out there. To bring life to something that once only existed in you imagination is truly a gift indeed.

I appreciate everyone who has continued to follow and support me in anticipation of the follow-up to Birth of The Mistress. I promise the wait will not be in vain as I am taking my time to fine tune details and streamline the storyline so that the readers will feel like not a moment has passed between the two novels.

Hard Knock Life of a Writer

I know most people think that it should be relatively easy to write a book....afterall, it's just a made up story. Funny thing is, it is HARD as all get out (maybe just for me) to write a book because it can be hard to transition your thoughts to a written format.

We all know how we speak and how we listen; but to transform the little voices in one's head to an understandable read can prove to be a daunting task. I constantly write and rewrite to get the correct "flow" of a story. I try my best to make sure that people, places and things all match up in such a way that the reader can follow along.

As I writer, I now find myself listening more as I always want to provide a quality product that people will enjoy an infinite amount of time.

Let's journey together....shall we??
