After a lot of time and thought, I believe I may have spoken too soon on whether the newest novel would be part of a series or not. The more that I write, the more ideas just come to my mind. I have seriously contemplated just finishing it and leaving Bound Together open for the imagination of my readers. The problem that I have with that is how many people would probably be upset that it was left open for interpretation.
I am one of those people that has to have an ending. I don't want to guess what the writer was getting at or if she/he had intended for me to come up with my own ending. I don't like surprises or things that are unfinished and I hate to do that to other people. How frustrating would it be to pick up a book and then get to the end only to be so disappointed that the story was good but the ending SUCKED!!! I HATE THAT!!!
At my current rate, I would have to have a novel that would probably be around 1000 pages, maybe even more. Plus, I don't think I could get anything out before next year if I went that route. As tempting as it is, I'd so much rather put out a decent sized novel so people can start to see where I am going with this! Though my first novel was a huge accomplishment, this novel is something more. I have grown as a writer and I am truly excited to see what people think of the story line, characters, and the writing in general.
