...Is the idea of a new series.
The other day I had the audacity to consider the end of the series when one or two of my heroines could possibly admit to being pregnant. What the hell am I doing to myself? What does this all mean??
It means that I spent a good amount of--i.e. "too much"--thought the few days following on a NEW series focusing on the offspring of the original five couples from the fantasy quinary. I drew out family trees. I contemplated villains and plot points. I settled on genders and names...names!!
And not only that, but I had already started writing a bit about one of the children, the only daughter of Sebastyan and Kailyynn--golden-haired, golden-skinned Luciana. She's tied to her Italian roots, and she just so happened to have stepped into her daddy's old role.
I'm so bad. I'm so in trouble. This world will consume me, and the only thing I can do to control it is write everything down and leave it be.
So, anyway, I look to JNoWriMo with hope that I can finish my first book and move on to the second. Slowly and surely I will find my way to the end, and then planning out the series of 10+ children would make sense.
