To keep something around just because it is already on the books, I think, is wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once you realize just the sort of glut of books that exists out there, it does become incumbent on you not to add to it unless you have a damn good reason.
You want people to be eager for your book; the downside is when the people forget the series even exists.
When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God's business.
Because they feel that without them telling you to do this, you wouldn't have had the characters that you have, you wouldn't have the book that you have.
I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I'd throw them out.
You want all your books to stick around after you've gone.
Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.
Most people - and particularly people whose lives have nothing to do with books at all - are intrigued by the idea that somebody wants to listen to them and get it right.
When you write the first book of a series, you do have to be careful what you put in because then you are stuck with it.
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
