It’s true. After a month of serious focus, I have finished the first (edited) draft of To Darkness Fled. It is now safely in the hands of my trusted critique partners who will let me know what works and what doesn’t.
I was sharing this process with a lady from my church and got a lecture! I know, huh? She said, “You treat those characters right, Jill. I really care about what happens to them.”
Thus the biggest struggle with writing a sequel. People like book one. A lot. They really do care about my characters and what happens to them. I have a responsibility to deliver! (No stress there. Ha ha.) Still, my characters are who they are and the story is set in my head. Never fear, I’ll be good to them, because, well, I love them too!
Wow Congratz Jill! 😀
I can’t wait till I can say those words! I’m only halfway through my sequel and haven’t written anything substantial in over a month!
I’m sure your second book will be great!
Best,
Kirk
Glad to hear it, Jill!
Hooray! I’ll be looking forward to the release!
Well done Jill.
