Story Development and Execution Part 13: Planning a Series
Happy christmas
Ciao, SEers. Today is my final post of the year, and it’s the final post of this series. We’re going to talk about planning a series, either from the beginning or by turning a standalone into one. I discussed types of series before. You can read that post here. This post is about how to do it.
Before you consider subsequent books in a series (either before or after the first book is written), you need to be certain there’s more story to tell. Just because your fans want more or you’re not ready to say goodbye to those characters does not mean you should write a series. Subsequent books should only be written if there’s more to say.
If you decide to write a series, go all in. There’s no concept that’s too big, even for a beginner. That said, it will be harder for a beginner…

Should you edit your published book?
Greetings, Storytellers. Diana here to talk about whether we should edit our published books, and if so, when. This post also applies to those writers who never publish because they never finish editing. If that’s you, read on!
Like just about anything we do (paint, cook, dance, carpentry, write) we get better with practice. We learn better methods, the tricks of the trade, how to blend color and spices, cut a rug, or cut a bevel.
We learn how to craft a tight plot and rich characters, show versus tell, reduce dialog tags, choose verbs, kill the adverbs. If we’re lucky, we get strong feedback from editors, critiquers, and beta readers. We take courses, read books on writing, and write, write, write.
Knowing that improvement is a given, the books we wrote five years ago might not look as polished as those we write today.
About a decade ago, when…

Poetry: Rhythm and Meter – by Melissa Donovan…
Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog
on Writing Forward:
Rhythm is everywhere: we hear it in the hum of vehicles and appliances. We feel it when we walk or run. We see it in the very rising and setting of the sun. Even our hearts beat to a rhythm. Rhythm is built into the way we experience and perceive the world.Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary offers several definitions for rhythm:
- an ordered recurrent alternation of strong and weak elements in the flow of sound and silence in speech
-
the aspect of music comprising all the elements (such as accent, meter, and tempo) that relate to forward movement
-
movement, fluctuation, or variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements
Poetry encapsulates all of these definitions of rhythm. But what about meter?
The words rhythm and meter are often used interchangeably, but their meanings are slightly different in the context of poetry. Perinne’s Sound and Sense describes this difference clearly and simply:…

Traditional Fantasy Recommendation Website – Guest Post by Jaq D Hawkins…
I know I’m always harping on about how hard it is to find Fantasy books that don’t actually belong in the Romance section, but this is worth sharing for others like myself who define Fantasy genre as quests, epic battles, magic and dragons or other fantastic creatures interacting with human and other species of characters.
Goblins, Wizards, halflings, dwarves and elves rather than hot fae guys or swoon-worthy vampires populate our imaginary worlds and protagonists are allowed to be past puberty in a good old gritty Fantasy, whether it deals with riding dragons or imaginary worlds with guilds for thieves and assassins.
And yes, my Goblin Series is on this website.
http://epicdarkfantasy.org
As I see it, this is long overdue. The website is weighted towards indie Fantasy, but of a high calibre. Professional book covers, clean editing and high quality of writing are all taken into consideration for entries.
It’s…

The Upside of Impostor Syndrome and 7 Ways to Deal with the Downside – by Ruth Harris…
on Anne R Allen:
What? There’s an upside to Impostor Syndrome?
Yes.
A sane, healthy mid-point exists between being stalled out by Impostor Syndrome and obnoxious, raging egomania so rancid even your dog hates you.
Authentic modesty keeps you real — and productive.
A certain degree of Impostor Syndrome can be the necessary spur that motivates you to work harder and get better.
It can give you the energy to try again — even if you’re on the umpteenth effin draft of the d*mn chapter and you still can’t get it right. (Until you do.)
Impostor Syndrome — call it discontent — can propel you toward trying harder or trying again — persistent effort that might reveal ability even you didn’t know you had.
Or as writer Molly Fischer put it, “Impostor Syndrome gets a bad rap. It’s the flame that burns beneath my ass, the constant low hum of…

Bogus Agents, Phony Communities, Fake Conferences, and Pay-to-Play Anthologies: New Scam Warnings for Writers – by Anne R Allen…
Bogus agents are ba-a-ack. Once upon a time, in the long-ago era when I was querying, fee-charging agencies and in-house editorial services were the problem. Their scams usually involved charging a “reading fee” (a no-no for legit agents) or referring writers to editorial services and vanity presses they themselves owned.They also added to their coffers by charging “mailing and copying” fees. This was the pre-Internet age when we had to send manuscripts in hard copy. Those manuscripts needed Xeroxing and postage for expensive snails. Bogus agents overcharged writers for those fees.
These old-school bogus agents targeted unpublished authors who didn’t know how the process worked. In one of my very first blogposts, 13 years ago, I warned writers about these bogus agents., who had scammed a number of my friends. Much of the advice is still true.
But the new bogus agents are more brazen. And they mostly…
