Because my second novel is coming out in a few months, it was very interesting to read this Newsday article about second novels. Of course, this article mainly focuses on the sophomore curse for authors who have had blockbuster first novels. Since my first novel didn't reach anywhere near blockbuster proportions, perhaps I can avoid that curse (and maybe the fact that Self Storage is actually the sixth novel I've written, not the second, will help.) We'll just have to wait and see. In the meanwhile, I'm hoping my third(/seventh) novel will start to find a better flow soon...
