&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ve done it! You&amp;#39;ve written and published your first novel and have found some success - congratulations! What comes next? You are likely feeling intense pressure to produce another great novel along with some anxiety. Author Jo Furniss calls this challenging time &amp;quot;the sophomore blues&amp;quot;. How did she follow-up her bestselling, critically acclaimed debut novel&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;All the Little Children&lt;/em&gt;? By taking what she learned during her journey with her first novel and trusting her process. It&amp;#39;s a mental game, Furniss says. You will likely experience the same doubts and self-confidence issues that you faced with the first book, but know that you are better equipped this time to overcome any negativity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
