It's 2023 and I'm self-publishing Powerless, with a planned release date in June! But first, I need to figure out it Powerless is going to be one book or two - at the moment, there are some things I've left open, and if it ends up being a standalone book, I need to tie up those loose ends before sending the manuscript to my copyeditor on January 16th.

But how to know? I've never written a sequel before, which means I'm not sure if I can.

Enter: The challenge! Write the sequel to Powerless in the two-week Christmas shutdown at work (December 24th to January 8th). 60,000 words in 16 days, or 3,750 words a day. That sounds doable... I think 😅

QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMENTS:
- Do you think I'll hit the 60,000 word goal? And do you think I'll finish the book?
