Now that I have finally finished the public beta of my first novel, I find myself really thinking hard about what I’m going to do with the other five novels in this project. I find myself vacillating wildly between eliminating two of them and being absolutely sure that I have to keep all six of them.
I change my mind on this subject just about every few minutes.
At the moment, what I’m going to do is start to root around in the last two novels to get some sense of what can be salvaged. Remember, I worked for some time on what is now the last two novels in the series and, theoretically, I could zoom through those two last novels once I decide to focus my full attention on them.
Novels three and four are also really strong. It’s novel two that I really find myself having a lot of problems with at the moment. There are some logistical issues about what I exactly plan on having happen in book two that I would have to work out.
But I — think — all I need is the help of a manuscript consultant. I have found way too many manuscript consultants are rather snooty — assholes (at least to me — even because they think I’m a drunk crank who is not worth their time.
