Dear almost-finished Book,
You know, I'm starting to think there's a conspiracy going on here. I don't write sequels. In fact, I tend to be ridiculously opposed to sequels. How many times in my life have I sworn to never write one? (Unless, you know, I just couldn't help it, but like that was ever gonna happen!)
So why is it that you just won't let me go? Sure, sure, all my characters like to stick around and toy with me, but that's just playtime and we all know it. You've already convinced me to throw my next three ideas back in the box and write more about you guys first. You can try to blame it on Dale and Harper, but I'm at a point where I'm fairly certain that this is a conspiracy you're all in on. What's that? The twins would like to have their very own prequel because they didn't get much screen time and think they're cute enough to warrant it? My little crazy superpowered children think it would be fun to come back as adults and show the world what they're made of? A couple of you have already decided to give birth to a legacy hero at some point in the future?
I really do think I'm starting to see what's going on here. Wait, let me guess. Ashleigh and Red-Shirt Danny are going to show up in the next book and decide they want their own books, too.
Well, I've got something to say to you all. Cut it out! I refuse to write a whole series, even if you are interesting and fun and have lots of potential for spin-offs. You get two and that's it. Okay, maybe three, at some far-off point in the future. At the very least, learn to wait your turn!
Thanks. Glad we could all be understanding about this.
Dictatorially yours,
Kaitie
