So for me, I’d argue that in book three, the big idea is actually more important than it was in book one. My series wasn’t originally a trilogy, so every book has its own big idea. For some writers, it’s probably less important, as perhaps they had the big idea for the series figured out ahead of time. Almost certainly there was a big idea that kicked off the series, but when you’re on book three, as I am with Colonyside, it’s different. The concept of a Big Idea can have a lot of different applications when it comes to writing a series when compared to a single book. What happens when people see us differently, and can those differences fuel the plot of a book? This is one of the questions Michael Mammay asked himself for his novel, Colonyside. We view ourselves in a certain way, because we live with ourselves on a daily basis.
