When I completed writing “The Best Damn Thing” I thought I would just set it aside but only a day later I had the start of a continuation of the storyline through the eyes of another character.
And then today, I wanted to go further with a third version.
So the three are:
The Best Damn thing. —Michaela Leigh
Sweet But Psycho —Anthony Cox
Good For Me. —Randy Cox
The second story taking place in the high school years (starting in the junior year)
The third covers the Cox family and what brought them to bring Michaela into their family and how they deal with the social issues.
I just want to know if I should do this.

Trust your intuition
A woman;s intuition never leaves her astray.
Trust your heart, your mind & your intuition.
Your writing muse, has kicked in for a reason luv, if all this is telling you to go for it, I say go for it!
I HATE conclusions, I love serials.
Been that way ever since I was little, likely due to my abandonment issues, I just hate the endings of things, I get attached fast fictional or real, I dunno they become like my little internalised family & when they go bye-bye, it rips something out of me while the pain lingers.... for years, hell I am still in grief over charmed (original) & it has been over for more then 10 years.
Run with your imagination, stretch it to the limit, I say hook your garters and show a little leg.... my way of saying go get em lol, you can do anything you set your mind too!
With Love and Light, and Smiles so Bright!

Write as much as you want to.
This should be fun.
The Best Damn Thing
I found the first one, but can not find the other two. The Best Damn Thing, while short, was written with enough strength to trigger a rock.

I suppose it's too strong to assert that if you don't continue with your trilogy idea, that it will haunt you the rest of your life.

If it makes sense to you it makes sense. You, the writer, are in total control of your thoughts and how much, or little, of them you wish to share with others. Once posted you have some reward for your efforts even if only one person reads your post.
What's the worst that can happen? Readers don't like it, or you are read few times, but you will have written and posted. You may get enough constructive criticism to make you wish to do an edit, or just take it on board, move on and fashion another piece in the future slightly differently. Objectionable, mean and negative public criticism gets removed remarkably quickly on BCTS without you having to do anything about it. That is one of the nicest things about posting here.
I wrote 'The Heads of Helltown High' which was a telling of the same events from seven, if memory serves me true, different points of view. It has not had a huge number of reads (741 in going on six months) but sitting on my laptop it would have had zero in six months. It is only you that can determine if the tale is worth the telling, but you will probably be surprised at the supportive readership. I was, am, and expect to be in the future.
On the other hand your tale may be well liked, only posting it will tell you how it will be received.
Good luck in your decision making.
