Lynn Reynolds asked Julia Quinn:

When did you know that you wanted to write a series? Which is harder to do - write a series or write a stand-alone?

Julia Quinn Well, I'll be honest, I haven't done a standalone in so long I'm not sure!

One thing I will say can be quite difficult in a series is when you're writing a book with two established characters. If you're writing about only one established character, you can generally mold the other protagonist into what you need for the story you want. But if both characters are well-known to readers, it gets pretty tricky. I had a really hard time plotting Romancing Mr. Bridgerton for this reason.
