how to choose a story
Hi,

For years I've had several ideas floating around for my head for a novel. The problem. I can't pick one! One year I started nanowrimo with one idea, and by day 4 a competely different story popped into my head, and I ended up running with it.

Sometimes I find that my story lines or characters overlap. Sometimes in the course of writing a story another idea pops in my head. Sometimes I get stuck on one and decide to try to write a little on the other. But mostly, I just feel like I'm spinning my wheels and not going anywhere.

Does anyone else struggle with this? How do you decide which story to go with? How do you make yourself really stick with it?


Thanks
