continuity

One of the things that you have to watch for when you are working on a story that is a continuation from a previous work is continuity, or even within the same story continuity errors can crop up. What do I mean by continuity? If you give your character blue eyes in one book, then you can’t give that same character brown eyes in the next book, unless you are deliberately having the character wear eye changing contacts for a reason integral to the plot. As you are reading this, I know that you’re thinking to yourself, but I would never make that sort of mistake. Believe me, it is much easier than you think to make those sorts of errors. In the world of TV and Films, there are people whose job it is to ensure that all of those details are attended to, and mistakes will still creep in. I’m sure you noticed things when watching one of your favorite TV series.
