A STORY TO NOVELLA OR TRILOGY?
I wrote a story about a former college star athlete who became a star in adult movies. I thought it would just be one story. Over time I have the protagonist evolving. From athlete to movie star to teacher to now a recluse.
I'm sure many writers have followed this path. Trilogies come from this vein. So do serial novels (just thought of Jacqueline Susann's novels). I don't know if a trilogy of 'Trey Morgan' will come from my efforts. Maybe a novella or short stories.
Seems that when I believe I'm finished with Trey, another idea comes up. He is complicated person; gifted, talented, quiet, unassuming, a loner. He's quirky, has a penchant for having unusual friends, and lives a eonted life. I'm still developing the story.
