Which Idea is Right for Your Novel?

Having trouble choosing one idea to develop into a story? You're not alone. Sometimes it's hard to focus on one of our super ideas.

From Holly Lisle, this piece of advice:
"If you love all of your ideas equally, write each on
a separate slip of paper. Fold each slip of paper in
half, close your eyes, and pull out one.

Write that one.

If, when you pull out one, you realize that isn't
the one you want to write right now, throw the slip
of paper away and select another one.

If you don't want to write the story right now, you'll
never get to it, because the more you write, the more
and better ideas you get."
