The other day I came up with an idea for a novel: What if another young woman developed telekinetic powers like Carrie White, but instead of being raised by an insane mother, like Carrie, she was raised by a doting, responsible father? I'd call the novel Sherrie, of course. But a second title, Scary, came to mind, too. Then I realized I should really change the spelling for the pun potential. But SCarrie would be a sequel, of course, not a parallel story.
Stephen King doesn't write sequels terribly often, but if he did, why not go back to the (almost) very beginning?

Steven King, as any man would, knows at least as much about women so as to not go near even the remotest possibility of writing a perimenopausal Carrie.
