Solving a Cube

When Interrogating a Cube

Declan: (Reads) When-

Jordan: How come you're reading more?

Declan: But you did it too and it's related to the question! Now let me read. (Reads) When will you write the sequel? There have been questions on the Northern and Southern hemispheres and all that.

Rubix: (Chuckles awkwardly) Yeah, sorry about that. I never really knew that there are differences in when summer is in depending on the hemispheres. Anyway, I'm in the Northern hemisphere, if that helps. In the case of when exactly I'll post the sequel, I don't know myself. I'm planning at the end of the summer, about when school is about to start, so August or September-ish.

Declan: (Reads) Since it's taking so long to write the sequel, how will it be published- The whole book ready or in chapters?

Rubix: Like I said, I'm on a break. In the meantime, I'm using this as an advantage to get ahead in chapters. Hopefully, I'll be ahead in a few chapters so I won't feel pressured in updates as I focus on school, which (Cough) I should be. However, updates won't be as weekly as it used to be in the first book, to which I'm sad myself. But I will still do my best to write as fast and efficiently as I can. I will write the same way as I write TGGBB, the first book will be the original, and then I will write a new version of the sequel as a second draft, for then a third to be published.

Bennett: (Plucks paper from Declan's hands) I take it that it's my turn. Let's see... (Reads) What about 4 AM?

Rubix: If you don't know, 4 AM, meaning Four A (A can mean anything from Amazing to Abnormal) Musketeers, was supposed to be a past time to give any impatient TGGBB fans something to read as they wait for the sequel. It would mostly be random scenes, much like one-shots revolving around the characters. However, I stopped because I realized that time I'm working on 4 AM could be the time I'm working on the new version or the sequel. If any of you like the idea, I might consider trying working on it in any real spare time. Just comment if you're interested.

Bennett: How will they comment? We're having a conversation.

Rubix: Yeah, just like that Bennett. Pretend to be ignorant and don't break the fourth wall.

Declan: (Punches the fourth wall and it breaks into a million and one, can't forget the one, pieces) You mean this wall?

Rubix: I don't think you can really call that a wall anymore...

Naomi: How about we go to another question? (Takes paper and reads) What happens after TGGBB?

(Everyone cringes.)

Rubix: I don't want to think about the future now. But... I want you all to know I still have something for TGGBB. Besides that, I do have other books I want to work on, and if you guys really like my writing style, for some reason, I hope you'll still be there to read the library of books in my head.

Naomi: (Reads) Do you have any other plans?

Rubix: Well, someone suggested I write a FAQ or Q&A for TGGBB. There, I and the characters will answer any questions. However, I don't know whether I should write it right now or after the sequel because I want to avoid spoilers until I'm actually free to tell you guys everything- And I mean everything. There are a lot of things readers may have missed about the book. I actually put in hidden messages and meanings and even jokes people may overlook as they expect the book to be any teen fiction.
