I have finished my first sc-fi story and am thinking of a sequel i have lots of story lines to use but am wondering if i should bother, i have 5 other books lined up to write. A music, a cop, 2 crime and a horror. The sci-fi story in question got good ratings from frineds and family. Help! I am a worn out writer at the age of 14 what should i do now?

Write what you enjoy. It sounds like you're prolific so that's definitely a quality that any good literary agent will be thrilled to know. You can always write the sequel if you sell the first one and readers clamor for a sequel.

If you don't enjoy writing, take a break for a while. If you're like me, and writing is something you love, I would suggest writing the sequel, while the characters are fresh in your head, and you haven't lost touch with what they are like. On the other hand, it might be good to get a breather from sci-fi, and work on a different genre. Whatever you do, good luck!
P.S. Before you get seriously into your next work, write down the storylines or "synopsises" of all the stories you have in your head, so you don't forget anything.

Don't give up on your writing at age 14. You have many more years of experiences to write about, whether they be fact or fiction. Have you entered your stories into writing contests (like that of Writers' Digest Magazine) or sent them to agents?? What was their response?? Friends and family can be good supporters, but can also be biased toward your writing because they don't want to hurt your feelings. Try someone outside your immediate family and circle of friends--like English teachers, science teachers (if you use scientific theories at all), or even college professors if you know any.
Write your story lines down somewhere so you don't lose track of them (even save them to your Documents area of your computer). But, whatever else, DON'T GIVE UP!! Good authors are hard to find these days (anybody can write a book, but the GOOD authors are those who stick around for a lot of years).

Well jot down the ideas for the other books and then put the sci-fi book on the market. See what happens. if all goes well write a sequel. if not then write the other books and see what happens. glad to see you enjoy writing so much at a young age.

Buy or go to the library and take a look at the reference book Writer's market and see which company's publish Sci-fi. Work on getting published..... That is the trickiest part--the part most writer's put off doing. After you do that, Then-----work on your next project....meanwhile, "brainstorm." ----This is a suggestion as to what might be in your best interest. Happy publishing!!

pass forward and write a sequel. in case you take excitement in it lots then pass forward and write it. in case you post the 1st one no person ever mentioned you ought to post the sequel in case you do no longer discover it sturdy sufficient. no person ever desires to correctly known that there became one. Now if by making use of the off possibility it incredibly is physically powerful sufficient pass forward and post it to. to jot down a sequel isn't the annoying question; you could unquestionably write it. The question is; after its carried out, is it sturdy sufficient to post besides? basically write it on your person excitement.

That depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're trying to get published, or at least an agent, I wouldn't write a sequel unless the original gets some traction.

Wow, you're 14? Jeez, I gotta step it up . . . ^_^ Anyway, write whatever jumps out at you the most. Don't write something that you just want to get over with so that you can get to the next story, but rather, something that you would have a lot of enjoyment doing.

Ever heard of taking a couple weeks off to recharge the ol' noodle?
You're going to burn yourself out at the rate you're going. :0)
Trust me: I've been there and done that.

Remeber, everything that has a beginning has an end; you can't keep a story running forever, you have to move on.
