- An irregular story where the ‘secondary’ plot is overdeveloped and overwhelms the primary plot.
- Hesitation by a reader to read the ‘second (or any other) story’ written by an author when they dearly loved the first work…for fear it won’t be as good.
- A burglar who is obsessed with entering houses by an upstairs window.
- The struggle an author endures after his/her first book is successfully launched and he/she struggles to write the ‘second story.’
