Picture two story ideas dressed up as little gladiators going at it in my head. That describes my day yesterday. I’m trying to decide which new project to start working on — either a romantic suspsense or a women’s fiction novel. I’d start leaning one direction but then think maybe the other was better. I think I’ve decided to work on both, do a partial for both, send them both to my agent and see what she thinks.
And I’m suffering that feeling I do before every book, the “oh, I’m never going to have enough material to make this idea into a WHOLE book!” feeling. Oh well, I need to just start and see how it goes.
So, it’s off to critique group, then I’ll come back and get started on some plotting/characterization for the two stories.
Days until the premiere of the second season of LOST = 1!

Do both simultaneously and slowly intertwine the two books together. You as the writer are the only bind between the two projects but slowly things will come together.
