#2: Initial revision
I am an aspiring author, but I intend to start publishing soon. I have several ideas for potential books; however, they are all series. I am hesitant about starting my writing with a series. What if it isn't successful? Then I would be stuck with a series that is going nowhere. If, however, I wrote a stand-alone book, I could easily move on whether or not it was successful. It seems that a stand-alone would be the way to go. Unfortunately, all my ideas are for series. Also, there have been best-selling authors who have started out with a series. J. K. Rowling and Christopher Paolini come to mind. What do you think? Should a beginning writer start with a series or a stand-alone?
