Got a question. The novel I've been pouring myself into has suddenly began to lean more towards being a series than just one book. I'm thinking of publishing e-book. My question is: Should I continue to write the first book towards novel length in word count, or come to a satisfying conclusion (drawing the reader to anticipate the next book,) at novella length?
Any suggestions will be helpful and welcomed. Thanks

I my self had the same issue... My "chapters" were more like novels in it of themselves...
20 some odd pages per.
Now that i have broken things up into 3 books I find that I am able to expand on key points that I had glossed over previously which in my oppinion has helped advance the overall works tone and feel.
My advice is to write it as a novel but then after it is done decide if you wish to break it down even further. The project will usualy tell you what it wants all on its own.
