The world of writing is a vast current filled with many ideas, each with their own allure. When I talk to other folks who have tried to write a big hindrance they talk about is having too many ideas and not being able to pick just one. Those conversations got me thinking about the topic for today's post.
Today's Topic:
How do you decide what to write when? What makes you choose one idea over another?
My Answer: Like my method for getting the story on paper, selecting the idea is a casual sort of process. It is governed much like nature, survival of the fittest. When I've got ideas I constantly assess their fitness as concepts. Which do I reflect on more and which develops more detail after pondering? Either one idea develops with exceptional speed and kills off the others or if the other idea is of nearly equal prowess it will simply continue to develop on the mental back burner. Thus is the law of the jungle. Survival of the fittest, first come first served.
That's my answer, now lets hear from all you writers out there. How do you choose?
