Well, today I put my baby in the mail and sent it to San Francisco. As a result of this, I will not b sending out any more query letters, or anything else on the book until I have a response from the literary agency I sent my book to at their request.

Instead, I will devote the next 'x' number of weeks to outlining book 2 in detail, and begin writing it as well. 

I have been subconsciously thinking of how do I go about defining Lily from book 1? In that book, at the beginning, she knew who she was. After discovering the truth revealed in book 1, Lily now needs to determine who she really is. I have a beginning to the third thread in book 2, and will work on that starting tomorrow. 

Along with the are thoughts of what's to follow. I have so many ideas for book three, but I need to answer questions like, should it be one that is related to the first two, or a standalone one, or from an idea I had several years ago, or a new idea, born recently? Actually, two ides born recently. 

I guess a lot depends on whether or not I can sell book 1. No sale on that for a few years and I may find myself back in the everyday work force doing something, just not sure what. Or, I could win the lottery...
