I think it would be hard to have your characters age and die...and my characters are all mortal, so far.<BR/><BR/>Lynda.

It is a tough decision; stay on with a familiar world or branch out to a new one. My personal opinion is that if you still enjoy the world and the characters, if you still want to write about them, then obviously you aren't ready to quit. And I suspect as long as you enjoy the writing, the readers will too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being here.Lynda K.

If you like the place, and there are more stories to tell, then by all means, ride that thing until the wheels fall off.<BR/><BR/>The trick is not to become masturbatory over it. I find myself abandoning series where all the storylines are tied up and the characters have all been settled only to have some new threat of the week continue to pop up. Once the characters have found their happiness, or at least progressed along the arc of the story, leave them be. Go to another country, a different setting within the world, or completely different characters. But if your stories consist of the main characters of previous novels sharing potato salad recipes at family reunions and counting their kids...chances are you'll be losing readers.Athena Graysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664024252326650321noreply@blogger.com
