Writing your second novel

I had company this weekend (my sister and niece), and stayed up WAY too late watching a movie last night (Peter Jackson's King Kong), and am WAY too sleepy this morning to write something insightful, educational, AND entertaining (at least that's what ya'll say my posts are). Besides, it's Monday. I have a week and a half to finish the edits for Bewitched & Betrayed. It's going good, but I know I'm gonna have to rewrite the next to the last chapter. Grrrr.

So . . . today I found a great post from NYT Bestselling author Matthew Pearl (The Dante Club) on that moment those of you who are writing your first novel will eventually experience -- writing your SECOND novel. His post over at Red Room is great reading.

I will try to have something original -- and coherent -- tomorrow.

Yep, it's Monday; try to make it a good one.

It was interesting, thank you for directing us there.

Not worried about the 2nd novel for now. Enough wips in the pipeline for that.

Very sleepy here too - just didn't sleep right. Good thing I had a half day at work!

:) I can identify with the whole sleep thing. I discovered `The Order of the Stick' web cartoon last night... after promising myself that I'd go to bed in good time. Alas! I have NO willpower.

That is an interesting article you linked to. {Smile}

I'm glad you had a good weekend. After that, a Monday semi-holiday sounds very appropriate. {SMILE}
