Already Thinking Ahead

As I tune my Soul Provider manuscript for publication, I can't help but think ahead to the next two books in the series. When I wrote the first book, I left the door open to continue the storyline, but now that I know there really will be follow up books, I'm actively thinking about the overarching conflict and how it will play out. Debating what I will reveal and when. Pondering who might have important roles to play and why. Great fun. Each book must stand alone as a romance, yet tie in neatly with the others from a big picture point of view.

Which brings me back to Soul Provider, of course. Setting things up properly will be critical.

I know lots of other writers who groan about doing revisions, but I love editing. I love thinking about nuances I can add and new depths I can find in the characters. For me, revisiting a manuscript is like dropping in to see very familiar old friends. Always enjoyable, always enlightening. So, I'm diving back into Soul Provider with a smile on my face and a keen sense of adventure. After all, at this point, even I don't know exactly what's going to happen!
