I've always heard it's so much easier to get an agent and sell your book if your first book is a stand alone book with series potential.
Originally, that was my plan. But as my story continues to develope, I would much rather take another direction, in which both my antag and protag's complete their personal journey/goal/resolution, but their story lines didn't meet until book 2.
Even if it isn't "normal" is it acceptable? It's closer to an epic with multiple povs, but my goal is to finish under 95,000 and if I have them meet it'll be about 125,000 (possibly more).
I guess I just need reassurance that all these people with three books+ deals really intended to have a series and sold it as one. I have no doubt that this ending is the best possible ending for the first book. If I didn't feel that way I wouldn't be so torn.
