I planned to write a five-book science fiction saga and I'm almost finished.
Problem is, the story isn't finished when I finish the five books.
Do I write five more books?
It seems I might have to do that.

My key to sanity is I don't worry if anyone will read my books. I like my books, and that's enough. If I get other people to read them, that's gravy.I planned to write a five-book science fiction saga and I'm almost finished.

How much have you done? I have 75 pages of a book, and I find myself wondering if I'm wasting my time. Meaning, how do I know if someone will even read the book?
Mine would also be a multi-book saga, so the story wouldn't end with this book.

My current saga is much more complicated, as it actually contains five separate stories about five character groups, told over five books. The stories are each broken into five parts, one part in each book. The story parts are arranged so that the overall story is not told in chronological order. If this seems unnecessarily confusing to you, you might be right. But I'm still convinced this is the best way to tell the overall story.
What I am doing by telling the story out of order is concealing information that the reader would have known if the story was told in order.My current saga is much more complicated, as it actually contains five separate stories about five character groups, told over five books.

Oddly, that was somewhat, what I was going for. There was going to be 3 separate books that cover the back story of several of the main characters, before resuming the primary story.
I will probably self-publish.

I know Mike Sheppard is now self publishing.
Is that necessarily better or because the publishing companies are going woke?

How about a random chapter, to see whether it passes the 'tossed over the shoulder' test. Or even a page you're proud of. That'd probably be enough.After that, the adventure begins. I wrote and wrote and ended up with a seven-book science fiction series.
You could write a brief outline of 2 more books to conclude this work before doing a full- fledged second series. Seven is a very pleasant number, but your thought process may require it's own unique number. It's probably just me, but eight volumes might seem most substantive if your theme touches on true findings scientificly.I planned to write a five-book science fiction saga and I'm almost finished.
