Ah, what fun. 60000 words in and only now does my brain decide to come clean about whodunnit....

Well that hits the spot.(y)

I've been writing more than one thing at once, but the one that's creaking its way onto Wattpad, chapter by chapter, has a 'series arc' villain in the background, lurking behind the main antagonist, and I've known from the start who it is... And now I find I'm wrong. My original idea was... boring. Now I know who really did it, and why, and so much more interesting. (Cue minor re-writes to make sure I've not put in anything that messes the new idea...)

Lovely post, Mouse. Also, love the 'glossary'. :D

I absolutely agree. Lovely as Inish was, it doesn't need a sequel, so if you're not feeling it, don't do it. Also, you could write another standalone with completely different characters in the same setting (like, just after Inish), so a non-sequel sequel of sorts. :D
 
Big Peat, no, there are plenty that I didn't cover, I focused on those because, even though I enjoyed reading the chapters I disagreed with them quite a lot and they left a strong impression.

Inish Carraig 2 - In which I impart bad news

No, I think this sounds like good news. Bad news for those who wanted Inish Carraig 2, but good for those who simply want good books. I doubt you trying to force a sequel it doesn't need makes as good a book as you telling a whole new story.

Thad - Ah right. I was curious as to how many periods he'd covered, as I have a certain level of scepticism regarding someone who thinks we've got it all wrong about multiple periods of history.

I used to be an outliner, but I'm becoming more and more of a pantser!! :eek:

I'm mostly a pantser. But I did rewrite my main outline about 25 times. It still didn't matter, because I still have barely followed the latest version. For the most part I keep it all in my head (the outline) and then wing it the rest of the way. As I write, I almost always come up with something "better" than when I first started.
