You can always play around with the first book then solidify things in the next ones.

I didn't get even the basest idea really until halfway through the first re-write of my first novel. Now that I'm working on the second book in the series I have a much better idea, but the protagonist doesn't really know yet, so neither does the reader. It's made for interesting writing time. Sometimes I think it's better not knowing.<br /><br />I loved the description of the not-thunder in this piece. Living in a place where very large and very loud storms are a yearly occurrence, it both frightens me and sounds very familiar. I look forward to seeing what comes next!Amalie Cantorhttp://daughterofkieran.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351341938179366879.post-73730611073222208092015-11-15T05:07:26.754-08:002015-11-15T05:07:26.754-08:00Love the atmospheric vibes!
