Goodreads asked R.K. Vetter:

What are you currently working on?

R.K. Vetter I am currently working on the second book in my first trilogy. The first book, Poo Skadoo: Everything's Jake, takes the main character through the months following the loss of an older neighbor lady, Jake's concerns about her husband and his dog, the acquisition of a family kitten instead of the dog Jake wanted, transitioning from being an only child to being a big brother with babysitting responsibilities, and maintaining summer friendships. This book gave me a chance to research animal hero stories.

The second book, Poo Skadoo, Too! What's the Skinny? has been outlined and has grown through three chapters. This is an interesting process, as, for example, all character facts and timelines have to match from book to book. This is an organizational wrestling match at times.

The third book, Poo Skadoodle: Hunky Dory-ish is, through necessity, being outlined as I write the middle book. Truth is, I have to leave the process for a reprieve from the "back-and-forth" of the trilogy, then go back to it. If another author has good hints on how to make this process smoother, please chime in!

I am a happy ending author, so I look forward to that!
