So, I’m rereading Two For One Deal, the first book in my Leashed series. This is part of my prep to try and finally finish Leashed 4 (still not official title). I’m liking it. TFOD, especially, is one of my favorites of my stories. I enjoy the first meeting between Meg, Michael and Rudy.
But I kind of wish I could go back and edit the past.
There are little bits of the story that I wish I could change. Little details I wish I could remove or add. It would help me so much as I’m writing the sequels. I know more about their magic and their world now and some of the stuff that I put in that first book is limiting where I can go. I’d love to have a more solid description of magic and change the way Meg wielded some of her power. But, I read series books often and I really don’t like when an author changes history, so I’m stuck with what I’ve written. I’ll tell you, though, I’ve got a new appreciation for those authors I’ve been upset with in the past.
It’s no biggie, though. I’ll manage. I hope. This darn book has taken me years. I gave it up last year because it wasn’t going anywhere and I’m still having trouble with it. My main issue, of course, being that I’ve got an established threesome but I think everyone knows I need to work the damn lion into the mix. Not easy because I know a lot of readers aren’t going to appreciate the intrusion. But I think I might have latched onto the idea that’ll save me.
Wish me luck!
