Hi *waves to break people away from their 'self-pleasuring' links*
I think I have a similar problem to the original post-er. I have a premise and plot (or story, I got a bit confused reading the explanations) for part of the novel. I've written 57k so I'd probably say I have enough plot left to finish a book, but it would require (in my mind) a second only I don't have a plot for it. I guess explanation would help.
It's a character who was due, by the rules of the land, to be conscripted as all first born males are only a few months before he was due to be conscripted there was a revolution, the regime overthrown and he kind of finds himself without a life or purpose (that's the premise (I think)). The plot covers what he does and how the Revolution copes. The plot I have goes up to where the main character is thrown in jail suspected of anti-Revolutionary activities but as for plot/story after that, I don't really have any. He might escape with another character but what then? (I understand it's probably really hard to give any meaningful advice without knowing exactly what I'm on about).
I think I'm just a bit nervous about having the story require more than one book as I've never been published before and I feel a bit like it would be asking too much for an agent or publisher to take on a book that is only part of the story. But then I do think that I've come to feel that the story needs more space than one book would give it. Hmmm, maybe this post doesn't fit on this thread at all (sorry).
