Re: to those who finished more than one novel : how could you really do that ?

Oh, agreed, but the world I've created was created to tell a very specific story in. There are other stories I might possibly want to tell in that world, but probably not with the same characters. Although I write fantasy because I love fantasy, the worldbuilding and the magic systems in my work are secondary to the characters and what's going on in their hearts and heads. The act of creating a new story and new characters is such an effort that creating a new world for them to live in is the easy part.

Don't get me wrong - if the book becomes a huge best-seller I'll be knocking out sequels till the cash-cows come home. But until then I want to stretch my writing muscles a bit and try something different.
