Could the Final Book in a Series Be the Hidden Masterpiece You’ve Been Missing?
What if you’re writing a series and it looks like the last book in the series will be more exciting than the first? Is that bad?
Will posted this question on my “Ask A Question For My Blog” page:
I’m working on the first of what I plan to be a series of fiction novels. I’ve used the Snowflake method to craft outlines for three novels so far. My question is: what to do if I think the most exciting story is in the third book? It’s kind of like George Lucas debuting the Star Wars series with Episode 4, because he wanted audiences to meet Darth Vader as a fully formed villain, rather than the conflicted boy he was in Episodes 1-3. Should I skip ahead to write book 3, which will probably change parts of books 1 & 2, or stay patient and keep building?
