Heh, thanks!
I sort of ran into trouble after this. I've started half a dozen sequels to this one but finished none of them and now it's a bit of a mess :P
Well in this case the main problem was that I had this story as it is, so all the ideas I had sort of sprung from it, meaning all ideas sort of started at the same place and time instead of one after one another. And since I didn't sort that mess out in time I ran in to my old nemesis the slippery slope. I take it you've dueled that beast too. Before you know it the hero of the initial story who saved the freaking universe if getting shat out of one of the dist mites left on the pillow of some random no one cares girl who just happened to be mentioned in the story and not even by name.

Sequals are always a problem, or even having large chapters. Nothing ever seems to want to flow the same after the initial idea gets on the page.

Yes, it happens, far too frequently. The good news is that your own work continues to give you ideas.
