Thank you for the feedback. Part 16 is posted and I'm hoping you'll enjoy smile

I'm a little stuck... not with the story itself, but what to do with it. Aftershocks, as it was originally outlined, has one very long, or two not quite so long, chapters remaining. However, over the summer, a sequel of sorts began to be outlined, and partially written. I'm debating between continuing this story to include the sequel, or stick with the original plan, and then have a separate sequel. When you are writing and something like this derails you, what are your thought processes? I'm usually reluctant to make major changes after an outline has been set and writing is almost finished.
