Just some self-doubt · 1:09pm Apr 14th, 2022
Did I release the sequel too quickly?
I admit, I was excited after seeing the success of DoaYG, and with the idea still fresh in my mind I thought writing a sequel would be alright, since some readers also wanted to see how Matilda would go on.
But now, I'm just thinking to myself, was I too hasty?
I just want to know your thoughts.
I think it's tough to decide when the best time to publish is. Too soon and people may be burnt out on the story, too late and the hype could die. The best way to judge will be how your audience reacts.
Well, why not. If you have ideas, continue immediately. You are not writing massive chapters of 20k words so you can update quite regulary. And - honestly - if you have a story which is hot, getting the sequel out fairly fast is good! This way your momentum won´t cool down, your fans won´t forget about what happened.
