\\n \\t* How do you keep readers coming back for each new novel when there's a long time between them?
\\n \\t* Should you have more than just one book done before querying agents?
\\n \\t* What do you do if your novel turns out to be too short to be a novel?
\\n \\t* Is it possible to write a series as a discovery writer?
