A Writer’s Option Overload

Last week I talked about the happy and sad of finishing a series. Now I’m gearing up to writing something new. The problem? Well…my brain has decided to give me way too many options.

I already mentioned that I have been working on a possible new series, but I have a couple other ideas that keep bouncing around in my head and then there is always the possibility of another spin-off series that I also have had percolating in my thoughts too.

And when you have too many options, sometimes that stops you in your tracks. So I’m writing down my ideas and trying to see which one is calling to me. The thing with ideas is they seem great when you’re brainstorming, but they don’t always translate to an actual story.

So I’m thinking that I might need to write a little bit on each one – chapter 1 so to speak – and see which I want to keep writing after that. At least that’s my plan right now. I’ll let you know how that works out!
