Writing a series can be tricky, as one must find a balance between necessary plot dumps and progressing the story in a timely and nonredundant manner. I personally find all of that "puzzle-piecing" to be very rewarding. ;-)<br /><br />If you have readers asking for a sequel, I say go for it.Leigh M.

I haven't thought about writing a series, but it might be because the right idea hasn't come along. <br /><br />If you can develop a strong plot line through several books, you should go for it. I do have a fondness for series as a reader.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447874650659057352noreply@blogger.com
