Well, we are only a few weeks away from the publication of Great Sexpectations, the third novel in the Laura the Explorer series. How relieved I am to have finally reached this point! It’s no secret that this novel took me WAY longer to write than I ever thought it would, and there are a few reasons for that. Some are personal, which I won’t go into, but in terms of the book itself there were some huge plot challenges that I faced when trying to wrangle this book together. I always end up with a lot of deleted scenes and deleted storylines from the final version of the book, but this was the first time that I think I’ve deleted a HUGE number of characters as well as some fairly hefty plotlines. So today, I’m going to deep-dive into one of the big challenges I faced when trying to write this book and how I came about solving my problems to finally get the book working!
