This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com

00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:12,500
This is Story Over Everything episode 13. Today, I'm going to be discussing the topic, Should You Write a Series?

3
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:18,740
A series of books can be financially successful, but is that the only reason to write a series?

4
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:23,260
What about sinking your time into a failed series?

5
00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:30,900
So for you, I got a couple questions. Do you plan to write a series? Do you like reading series?

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,820
And when is a series not the right format for a story?

7
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:44,860
So in order to really get a good answer to this, I thought it would be wise to look at both sides of the matter.

8
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:50,700
Both reading a series and writing a series. So I want to discuss first

9
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:56,700
what are the pros and cons of reading a series? I think I've got three or four for each of them in both categories.

10
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:01,980
So, pros for reading a series. There's character development. A series of fiction books

11
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:08,660
allows for in-depth character development over time, allowing readers to become more invested in the characters and their stories.

12
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:14,460
Familiarity. As the readers progress through a series, they become more familiar with the world and the characters,

13
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:17,340
making subsequent books easier to read and more engaging.

14
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:21,460
Deeper plot lines. A series can allow for more complex plot lines and

15
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:29,260
overarching story arcs that are not possible in standalone novels and more content. A series provides

16
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:34,040
more content and can keep readers entertained for a longer period of time.

17
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:40,840
Moving on to the cons of reading a series. There's a risk of burnout. Reading multiple books in a series can become

18
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,880
repetitive and boring if the plot or characters become stagnant or if the series goes on too long.

19
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Depending on previous books, a series can be difficult to follow if the reader has not read the previous

20
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,960
books in the series, making it less accessible to new readers.

21
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,640
There's a caveat to that which I will discuss further down the line and the burnout thing too.

22
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,680
The solution is the problem and if you're worried about burnout because of it not being well executed,

23
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,760
then well, you should just write a better series, right?

24
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,920
Anyway, next thing is a quality may decline as a series goes on the quality of writing

25
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,920
or storytelling may decline as the author struggles to keep the story fresh and interesting.

26
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:29,560
The last thing is a long wait times. If a series is ongoing and not yet completed, readers may have to wait years

27
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,160
for the next installment, which can be

28
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,480
frustrating. So yeah, I agree all that would stink.

29
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,880
I would not like to have to endure long waits for, you know, the next book to come out,

30
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,200
especially if the other ones are so good.

31
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,280
But then again, if you've got three books and you're waiting for number four, then you go back and read the others, right?

32
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,920
But then again,

33
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,320
that's a an issue on

34
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,840
the author's side created by the author either not planning things out properly or

35
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,840
not executing as well as they can on their plan and

36
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,880
that may happen for a variety of reasons which I

37
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:14,120
may or may not discuss or which I'm not going to discuss at this exact moment. So I will move on and if you have

38
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,440
disagreement or amendments or anything to add to this,

39
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,120
I would love to hear what your pros and cons are of reading a series and I'm gonna move into

40
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
what are the pros and cons of writing a series. So for the pros,

41
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,360
most more opportunities for character development.

42
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,920
These are gonna be similar but distinct.

43
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,960
Writing a series of books allows for in-depth character development over time,

44
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,680
which can create more complex and interesting characters that readers become invested in.

45
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Increased readership. If readers enjoy the first book in a series, they are more likely

46
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,960
to continue reading subsequent books, which can increase the author's readership and fan base.

47
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Established world building.

48
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Creating a series

49
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,880
allows the author to establish a rich and detailed world that can be explored in depth over

50
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
multiple books and

51
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:08,400
more revenue potential. A successful series can generate more revenue for the author and publisher than standalone novels as

52
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,640
readers will often buy the entire series, which is true.

53
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,680
The cons of

54
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,680
writing a series.

55
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Pressure to maintain quality. Writing a series can be

56
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,920
challenging as the author must maintain the quality of the writing and storytelling throughout multiple books,

57
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
which can be difficult to sustain over time. Risk of burnout.

58
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Writing a series can be a long and tiring process and authors may risk burnout or losing interest in the story or characters.

59
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Limited audience. While successful series can attract more readers,

60
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,000
it can also be less accessible to new readers who may not want to commit to a lengthy series.

61
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Expectations of readers. Readers may have certain expectations for the series and its characters,

62
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,000
which can limit the author's creativity and freedom in the writing process.

63
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,360
One more thing before I get into discussing

64
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,120
some of that more in detail is

65
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,160
you know, there are both episodic and serial

66
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
series that can exist. So

67
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,360
I was thinking about this and the question occurred to me. Can a book series be episodic or serial? And the answer is definitely yes.

68
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,600
You can have serial series, you can have episodic series, or you can have a combination of both.

69
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:31,600
I think Ian Fleming's James Bond, for example, is episodic. The Shadow by Walter B. Gibson, mostly as Maxwell Grant and other people is episodic.

70
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,600
There is some limited

71
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,600
continuity that gets built upon as time goes on, but they're basically episodic adventures

72
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,600
self-contained and everything. So you do have recurring villains though throughout the books and those that's where you get the combination, right?

73
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,600
But an episodic series specifically, just to throw out the definition so we all agree what we're talking about here,

74
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,600
is one in which each book can stand alone and tells a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end,

75
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,600
but the books are connected by recurring characters, settings, or themes. Examples of episodic books

76
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,600
include, book series include the Nancy Drew series, Goosebumps, and the Chronicles of Narnia.

77
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,600
Now you might think, no Chronicles of Narnia is a serial series. If you get deeper into it, it's not. They are episodic.

78
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Because it's so different each time, which is, I think, a lot of fun actually.

79
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,600
Excuse me, on the other hand, except for book seven. Book seven kind of rides the line between serial and

80
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,600
what's the other one? Episodic. Anyway, which by book seven I mean the final book which is called The Last Battle.

81
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,600
Anyway, on the other hand, a serial series is one in which the story arc extends across multiple books and the books are not

82
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,600
designed to be read as standalone stories. Instead, each book ends on a cliffhanger or unresolved plot point

83
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:53,600
that is picked up in the next book. Examples of serial book series include Harry Potter, The Hunger Games,

84
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,600
and A Song of Ice and Fire. It is also possible for a book series to be a combination of both episodic and serial.

85
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:05,600
For example, some book series may have standalone books that are part of a larger story,

86
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,600
or some books may be more standalone than others within the same series.

87
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,600
And I would agree with that assessment. I would contend a little bit that I only read, I think, the first two or three

88
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:24,600
Harry Potter books. I would say that they do stand alone, but they're better if you read them in series.

89
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,600
So could I have read... I can't remember what book two is called. I don't know.

90
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Could I have read Harry Potter 2 without having read Harry Potter 1? Yes.

91
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,600
I think there's definitely enough in there to give you a feel for the world and if you enjoy it, you can go back to the others,

92
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,600
but it's just a better experience if you read the rest of them. And I think that's how they should be.

93
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:56,600
So, you know, I have written down here that the character, the story arc will carry across multiple books.

94
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:05,600
And while I think that's true, I think we should also be able to have each book in a serial series stand alone.

95
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:12,600
And there's just like one mega arc, mega arch, mega arc, I guess, that goes across the entire series.

96
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,600
But I think each book has to have its own individual arc because then it feels like unfinished stories.

97
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:25,600
For example, as much as I like, well, as much as I love Tolkien's work, I think that's a good thing.

98
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Tolkien's work specifically like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

99
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:37,600
The idea that The Fellowship of the Ring is a book in and of itself does not work for me.

100
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Maybe if you cut it earlier where Frodo and Sam are stuck in, you know, going into Mordor or whatever, leaving the rest of the company,

101
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:55,600
it would work. But the way that it just ends abruptly, that's not really the end of a book to me.

102
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,600
That's not a book with a big, you know, middle end.

103
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,600
And yeah, that certainly doesn't work for me. And I think it's insufficient.

104
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,600
And I can't remember if the two towers ends similarly.

105
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:16,600
But yeah, I was very displeased by The Fellowship of the Ring and the way it ended as a standalone book

106
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,600
because it wasn't a standalone book. I don't know what else to say about that.

107
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:33,600
So yeah, there is a lot to consider. I would say I lean towards writing serials and I lean towards reading serials

108
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:40,600
because if I like a character, I want more of their adventures. I want more of their journey.

109
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:48,600
I want more of the fun of them and the world that they inhabit. And I don't know if that's because I come from the world of, you know,

110
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,600
read comic books or anime or not reading anime, but like, you know, watching anime or what?

111
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Where you have these long ongoing stories that are really cool. But it just that hooks me.

112
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:08,600
I'd rather see. And this is interesting to me. One of my favorite shows is Digimon and Digimon season one and two.

113
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:17,600
They are linked to each other. They would be considered serial even though they also can stand alone and be sort of episodic from one another.

114
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,600
And yeah, I think it's fair. That might be a little bit of a controversial statement.

115
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,600
I have to fight for it to say this is 100% true and I'm correcting this assessment.

116
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,600
But I think it works because you can just go into two and you get stuff from one as background and, you know,

117
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,600
old characters are introduced to the new group or you could, you know,

118
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:43,600
watch one and then the other or you could watch two then one. And I really do sincerely believe it would work either way.

119
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:51,600
You're going to get that information that you that you need for the story. And they're both their own stories.

120
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,600
So, like I said, that definitely works for me. And I think it would work for you.

121
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:06,600
But getting back into books, I just think it's a lot more interesting to have the characters live on into another book,

122
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:14,600
into another adventure and get to experience more of them, more of their world and their story.

123
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,600
I think that's just way more exciting. And for me, that's my preference.

124
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:27,600
I would say I'm very judicious in what I enjoy as far as books and movies are concerned.

125
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Really, that applies to all media. So for me, when I find something that I like,

126
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:40,600
if there's another one like it, then I will excitedly check it out and see, is this going to work for me?

127
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Is this good enough? Is it as good as this other version of it?

128
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:52,600
And if it is, then I get excited. You know, I'm that reader, that viewer, that audience who,

129
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,600
once I have a bit of your world and it's really good and I like the characters there,

130
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:04,600
well, I'm going to go back for more and I'm going to keep going back for more as long as it continues to be good.

131
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:11,600
And I don't live as like a diehard fan of anything until it's proven itself to me.

132
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,600
And it proves itself to me by continuing to be good.

133
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:22,600
And yeah, I don't really let myself get complacent and just say, oh, well, I like this series,

134
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,600
so I'm going to keep buying this. Like, for example, well, anyway, so whatever it is,

135
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,600
I judge on a case by case basis. And then, you know, hopefully I can recommend a series to somebody.

136
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:38,600
For example, I love the 14 L. Frank Baum authored Wizard of Oz books.

137
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:45,600
And I've gotten, I'm reading it to my younger kids. I've gotten my older kid to read them or she's listening to them

138
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:53,600
and like ripping through them real quick. And like that's a series that's going to stick with my family for a long time.

139
00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:01,600
And honestly, when people, when I have the opportunity, I'll say, oh, did you know that the Wizard of Oz is not just a movie?

140
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,600
There's a book. There's one book, there's 14 books all written by the original author.

141
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,600
And they're really good. You should check them out. If you like the movie, you'll like the books probably.

142
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:19,600
I, you know, I advocate that other people read these books that are over 100 years old and that were written for children

143
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:25,600
because they're just that good. So, yeah, I'm definitely in the mind.

144
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,600
I'm definitely the type of audience member who is going to be satisfied with a series.

145
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,600
And to some extent, because of that, because, you know, I'm thinking about as a marketer and as an author,

146
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:42,600
trying to figure out what I'm going to do and how I'm going to do it, I'm the avatar for my customers, my consumers, my audience.

147
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:48,600
And I want a series with long ongoing characters where I can explore the world, explore different aspects of the world.

148
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:55,600
And I want to be able to give that to people as well. And hopefully I make the right choice and I don't mess up my series

149
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,600
as I'm developing them and writing them and people will continue to enjoy what I have written.

150
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:09,600
And I can design them so that they're structured in such a way that a complete beginning, middle and end story is told in each one.

151
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:20,600
But it leaves room to explore that world, that universe, that character and or put that character in different situations in that unique world that I'm creating,

152
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,600
which means, you know, I have to think about the world and have to think about the characters and how they'll interact in it.

153
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:34,600
But isn't that true of any author writing any book? Or shouldn't it be? At least if they're going to write well and effectively.

154
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:41,600
And this is not me saying that it's a waste of time to write a standalone book.

155
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:57,600
But at the same time, I don't know why I would invest in crafting believable characters and a world for them to inhabit if I was only going to get one book or one story out of that.

156
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:08,600
And the issue gets a little farther complicated when you consider anthologies or or what else.

157
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Let's say I wanted one world with many different stories or different characters in it.

158
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:20,600
And I wanted them. I specifically wanted to reuse or to use a different and distinct set of characters for each story told within the world.

159
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:28,600
But I wanted it to be 80,000 words. So I wrote a series of short stories all set in a single world.

160
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,600
I could do that. I just don't know what the advantage would be of that specifically.

161
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:48,600
And if you're doing the work to create this world and make it believable, give it some weight so that it functions properly and draws people in.

162
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Because I would imagine that's what you would have to do in order for an anthology to work of many different characters.

163
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:07,600
If the world doesn't work, then you have to be an excellent character writer or excellent scenario writer and really hit people hard from the first paragraph, if not the first sentence, to hook them in

164
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:16,600
and really compel them to not put down your book to read each short story within it with a new cast each and every single time.

165
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:25,600
But why wouldn't you just expand those ideas and turn them into something bigger? And yeah, I don't know.

166
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Again, my bias is to write in series. I would almost want to hear what's the argument for writing standalone novels over a series of novels.

167
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:45,600
And maybe it's because of the interests I have. I'm more into pulp novels and science fiction adventure type stories, even fantasy.

168
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:59,600
But I don't see the length or the efficacy. I don't see why you would prefer one long book over a shorter series of books that explore similar things.

169
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:06,600
I mean, you could even have the same premise and the same themes, which is something I've talked about previously.

170
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:21,600
But you could execute them in either a series of short stories or short books or, you know, which is 60,000 words, let's say, a series of pulp length novels versus one epic fantasy novel.

171
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:33,600
That's 100,000 words or 200,000 words. I don't understand why you wouldn't just do three of the shorter books as opposed to that one big one,

172
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:42,600
especially because I feel like long standalone books lead more to burnout than a series of books.

173
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:49,600
Because you can say, hey, I'm done with this series. It took me five hours, six hours, eight hours to read as opposed to this huge book that looks so intimidating.

174
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:56,600
I don't even want to read it. But again, maybe this is all personal preference and not something that I actually or that.

175
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Well, it's something I consider, but I don't know if it's what everybody considers. But then again, I don't without doing extensive market research.

176
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:16,600
I'm doing the best thing I can. The next I think the next best thing I can, which is to look at myself as a reader and see what I want, what I want out of books and what I want out of a series of stories.

177
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:31,600
Like I got to be honest, I finished Jurassic Park and I realized there was a Jurassic Park 2 and I immediately bought it and downloaded it and started listening to it because I thought, wow, that first book was so good.

178
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:43,600
I know it can't be well, I don't know how it's going to be a sequel. I had the idea from the movies that it was, you know, one or one or two characters being pulled forward into the into the next book

179
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:58,600
and kind of having experience with the dinosaur island and such. And then, you know, them going into that with their eyes wide open and scared and nervous about what's going to happen on this, you know, separate island with people who are all new to the experience.

180
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:04,600
And it turned out to be way better than that because Brighton just did. He just did something else.

181
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:17,600
I mean, that is what he did. But he went so much farther than that and expanded the story in different directions that I wouldn't have thought of initially, you know, which is why he was the great author.

182
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:29,600
And, you know, I'm a newbie. I'm just a I'm just a kid from, you know, SoCal trying to make it as a writer. So anyway, that appeals to me.

183
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:39,600
That definitely appeals to me. That's where I'm at. And really, like I said, as I was wrapping up, I would need to be convinced to write standalone books. Is it a literary fiction thing?

184
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:47,600
I have no desire to be called a great author by people. I don't want to be called a great author by a few people.

185
00:19:47,600 --> 00:20:01,600
I want lots of people to be really excited about the cool stories that I make and the enjoy the adventures that I take them through. And that's that's where I'm at.

186
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:07,600
I'm a simple man and I have simple goals, but I want to do simple and I want to do simple really, really well.

187
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:17,600
And it just makes sense to me to build that world like that and yeah, to build a world to some extent.

188
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,600
And I don't mean deep lore world building. I just mean, you know, I'm creating a time and a place in a setting.

189
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:31,600
And if I can keep using that setting and branching out from that setting with my characters or the friends that they meet along the way, then why not do that?

190
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,600
That's that's just personally what appeals to me. So I've said that a few times.

191
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:45,600
So I'm going to go ahead and call it right now, but I would love to hear your feedback and hear your arguments against serials and against series and for standalone novels,

192
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:54,600
because I'm all about writing series at the moment. And that's the case I presented to you. I hope I did a good job of that.

193
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,600
Regardless, well, I hope I did a good job of that. But I welcome the feedback so you can help me improve if I didn't.

194
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:08,600

I'm working on doing some back end stuff so I can get it officially launched to iTunes and all the other podcatcher places out there so that you can get it wherever you find podcasts.

198
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:37,600
And if you have a specific place you want me to put it, let me know so I can go ahead and get it published and posting up there too if it's not too much of a hassle.

199
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:48,600
I just I kind of I put the cart before the horse and now I'm locked behind another podcast before I can start launching multiple others to go along with it.

200
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,600
So I got to figure that out. But anyway, until next time, folks, take care.
