When I&#8217;m done with that I think I&#8217;ll do what I did for Cassie \u2026 take a writing hiatus and wait for inspiration to strike. When I force the issue, things seem to go badly. If it takes a while for inspiration to strike, I may try a writing how-to book. I&#8217;ve got some extensive notes for one already.<\/p>\n<p>But there will be more stories.
