First book is like the introduction to everything. Sequel should feel like the continuation.

Exactly! And once the readers' "learning curve" is reached things change a lot for the story.

I have tried so hard to write trilogies or plan duologies but after the first book- I'm normally like um, I could obviously just finish here and be done. So this was helpful haha

Hi I'm new to your channel on KZitem but let me ask you a question. I was hoping you can make a quick video about this topic. So my question is what if you thought you had a trilogy but when you start fleshing out the story with huge details you realize that some parts of book two had to be included in book one and what if the second half of book two and a concept idea of how you wanted to end the trilogy was only enough meat to create a Duology instead of a trilogy? 🤔 What happened; and if your trilogy turned out to be a Duology is this a bad thing?

Hey there! That's an interesting question. I think that would make a great video topic for me in the future, so I'll see what I can do. Trilogies often follow the same three act structure found in most stories (Book 1 = Act 1, and so on.) There's a common writing struggle known as "sagging middle syndrome" where the middle of the story is less engaging, has less substance, and overall "drags." This is a problem that also plagues trilogies, where the second book is less favorable than the others. It sounds like you've identified this as an issue early on in your own story -- which is awesome! It can sometimes take lots of drafting to figure this out. A trilogy turning into a duology is not a bad thing. The series I'm writing now started as a trilogy, and now it looks like a 5 part series. The number of books in a series isn't all that big of a deal. What's more important is figuring out how many parts this particular story needs to be told in, otherwise pacing may be difficult. Depending on where you are in your planning/outlining/writing, you may find later on that there's even more of the story to tell once you get there, and you end up needing a trilogy to give enough space for all your ideas. It just depends on what the story needs, and how you feel it's able to be told best.
