When you're waiting for comments and letting it sit, do you move on to the next novel? If you do, is in the same series or completely unrelated? If related, how do you keep it all straight? lol
I ask this because I am trying to plot build the third novel and am working on the rough draft in the second novel, however I'm finding it . . . a distraction? . . . to keep where the characters are in development in each. For example, in book 1, the m.c. goes by one name because she is in hiding. By the end of book 1, she is revealed (much to her dismay), so in book 2 she's using her real name. If I got a nickle for each time I wrote in the alias rather than the real name in book, I'd have one hefty check coming my way! lol
