: Re: How should I approach writing a trilogy? I am thinking of writing a trilogy and was wondering how should I begin. Should I plan out to write three books or just see if the story develops

End the first book by having the characters solve a problem.
Begin the second book by having the characters discover that they solved the wrong problem, and now things are worse.
End the second book by having the characters solve the actual problem.
Begin the third book by revealing that characters didn't really solve the problem because they didn't address the cause. The problem is now back and worse than ever.
End the third book by having the characters address the root of the problem so that it stays fixed this time.
Now go back and make sure that in addition to the physical journey that the characters make, there is also a personal journey, and that these parallel each other.
