Beyond the Trilogy

‘ve tried to write this post at least a few times now with varying amounts of success, so hopefully this will be the one. 

Back when I first started writing Secrets of Witches nearly a decade or so ago, it had originally been my intention for the book to become a series, rather than simply a trilogy. For one reason or another that particular dream never worked out for me, but I’ve never given up my desire to eventually write a series again. The key is coming up with the right idea, and perhaps most importantly, the story arc that will continue across all the books.

Thus far, I’ve had a lot of ideas for series but I can only seem to get as far as the first two books or so before it all just falls apart. Maybe it’s because I’m trying to put all my time and energy into the final Secrets of Witches, or maybe I’m just trying to hard to find an idea that isn’t ready yet. The idea will come to me when it’s ready and I can’t rush that. Patience is not necessarily a virtue I’ve ever possessed, but I know that it’s one I should learn. Some writers spend their whole lives hoping for a series… knowing this however does not make it any easier to be patient.

In the meantime I still have to figure out what I want my first official book after the Secrets of Witches trilogy to be.
