Always
You know how when you get serious with a guy, everyone asks you when you're getting engaged; and when you get engaged, everyone asks when you're getting married; and then when you get married, everyone asks when you're going to have a baby; and when you have a baby, everyone asks when you're going to have another baby?
Well, writing a novel is kind of like that. It takes an enormous amount of time and effort, discipline and dedication to write a book, and as soon it's out, everyone asks when the next one is coming!
I'd like to enjoy letting this bird fly for a while, frankly. I'm really enjoying just hearing people's reactions. One friend took the book to bed, read a few chapters, turned out the light, tried to sleep, found he just had to find out what happens to the book's heroine, turned his light back on again and read the book until the end.
Someone else told me she had skipped church to finish it.
Very heartening.
OK, that's enough enjoyment. I'd better start writing the next one.
