This is a short, little post because it’s on my mind right now: What should I be working on?
I have a substantial part of a stand-alone NA romance, Second Chance, that is over 60% complete. I also have BLUR, the sequel to my debut novel ECHO, almost 40% complete. I’m torn between the two. Both are important to me, but I can’t work on both without becoming fictionally schizophrenic.
So, writer friends…how do you decide what to work on?
You’re talking to the woman who wrote an entire novel only to find it was the wrong one. So I’m probably not the one to ask. But I usually write the one whose characters are talking the loudest. In my head. Or outside it. I can never really tell which.
I think I’m the same way, Cheri. The story that sticks with me, begging to be worked on at the moment, is the one that wins out.
And your novel wasn’t the wrong one, just in the wrong order. It still spoke to you to some extent, but I understand where you’re coming from.
