Of course, I'm still in a quandary.<br /><br />@Michael, Alex, Emily, Wendy (BTW, my book OTL has characters named Alex and Emily in it) working on the sequel does seem the natural thing to do. It's just that I'm in such a hurry to get two or three books published, as the more book you have, the better your chances of readers finding you. I guess that's kind of selfish.<br /><br />@Clarissa. No problem there, as I'm the publisher. If I were going for traditional publication, you'd be right on.<br /><br />@Tanya, Kamille, Emily My heart really is calling me in one direction. And that's probably what I'd be happiest with doing.writing and living by Richard P Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814139767151989286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2789848305671189900.post-29826287343277353742012-03-03T04:02:38.487-08:002012-03-03T04:02:38.487-08:00When I think about what I want to work on I always...When I think about what I want to work on I always think:<br /><br />If the world ended tomorrow, which novel would I rather have finished?<br /><br />Lol!

Why? When I started writing the sequel and my first book got picked up, well, my publisher made me make a lot of changes that effected the second book. I ended up starting over. So I would work on something new... or in your case, the older book.
