What's Next?

You may or not be aware that the Foundling series started as a freestyle roleplaying game in an AOL chatroom back in the day. Foundling, in its current iteration, resembles the original story... well, not at all. For better or worse. (I think better.)

Here's the thing. The story is done. It has an ending. And yet... am I done? 

For several years now, I've been toying with the idea of turning this duology into a trilogy. Scenes have come to me. They expand the story, and explain what happens next. Is it necessary? Probably not. Do I desperately want to write this third book? Yes. Emory and Noor have so much more to say. So many consequences to deal with, wounds to heal, fences to mend. 

I should be drafting Project: Arcadia right now. I want to write a fantasy novel. I'm excited about this project. The book cover is done, and I love it. (I make DIY covers in Canva for inspiration.) And yet, my heart is pulling me back to Noor and Emory, begging me to expand their story and address the natural ramifications of the events in the duology. 

I'm thinking it might be a companion novella, rather than the third book of a trilogy. Hell, I'm thinking of writing a canon fan fiction! 

We'll see. I'm not opposed to working on more than one project at a time. As long as I'm writing consistently, I'm winning. 

Question of the Day (even if this post is over a year old by the time you read it): Do you make DIY book covers for your works in progress? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading!

Your Basic B. genre fiction writer,
