Working Wednesday: Thinking About Series

Bob and I are doing our third three-book series, and I’m starting to finally relax into that process. They’re all hard, but the first one is hardest, not just because we’re setting everything up while telling a story, but because there’s so much I don’t know, and I panic. But the thing is, we won’t know what these books are about until we finish the first draft of the last one. We can’t know, one of the major reasons for writing stories is find out what’s been lurking beneath our frontal lobes. (Increased degree of difficulty: Two very different frontal lobes.) I scream, “It’s not there yet!” and Bob says, “Chill and keep writing,” and he’s right. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy the journey, Jenny.
