After a far too long 12 month hiatus, where I focused on getting my standalone novel Impatience to a finished first draft, I have finally begun work on Book 2 of the Evolution Series. The as yet unnamed sequel to Balance. While, to date, only a few people have read all of Balance, its fair to say I will be careful not to divulge any spoilers here and I respectfully ask my loyal readers to do the same when posting comments.
During the break I managed to compile a high level overview of the main plot as I couldn’t help myself, my mind often strayed to thinking of the characters and their plight. In truth, it sounds kinds weird and surprises even me but I miss them. One thing I’ve learnt most successful authors do is have arguments in their head with and between characters. I can totally relate to this!
To be getting words down, for a few specific key scenes I’ve had rattling around in my mind, is a wonderful feeling. A lot like catching up with old friends, which bizarrely I actually did over the weekend. My wife hosted a lovely dinner with some good friends from school I haven’t seen in many years.
As a sequel I’m in writers heaven. I’m writing this book from a situation I’ve never experienced before as I don’t need to start with all the character background and scenario introductions. I’m finding the writing very exciting as I can get straight into the action and character interplay from page one.
