I think people enjoy a series. When you like a story, many readers want more of the same, which is dandy, if the author and the characters have more to say.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I pretty much always wanted to write a series, because I love reading them.
It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.
I think in some ways, you end up with more interesting storytelling with series, because if you've written yourself into a corner with something in book 1, you have to be cleverer to get out of it.
If you create a good story that has a lot of story value... I think audiences like that. It's why they stick with the same TV show over and over.
I did not know at first that it would be a series; I discovered after the first novel that I had more to say about it, so I did another. And another, and then the readers demanded yet more.
I think of every book as a single entity, and some have later gone on to become a series, often at the request of readers.
As long as it comes across, the characters are well-served, the stories are good, and people like it, that's it for me. I'm a happy guy.
I'd never thought much about a series, because I liked the idea of picking a script I liked with a character I thought I could sustain for an hour. In a series, you live with one character day in and day out - and you only hope it will be one that will not drive you crazy.
I love stories. I just enjoy telling stories and watching what these characters do - although writing continues to be just as hard as it always was.
I love serialized stories of any kind. I'm a huge sucker for any kind of series.
