I'm always getting excited about new ideas, but then I usually need to tell myself to focus on my current WIP or I'd never finish anything!Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-24381348020162080082010-04-21T11:20:57.077-04:002010-04-21T11:20:57.077-04:00I completed the last WIP and was halfway through r...I completed the last WIP and was halfway through revisions when a YA idea hit me. It had been there for awhile but had been slowly cooking on the back burner, and suddenly one day popped up full formed (like a souffle, maybe?) I decided to pursue the YA idea since that's a hot genre right now, but I fully intend to go back to the other WIP as soon as I've got the YA ready to query.<br />I definitely believe things happen for a reason, so if Project B is coming in loud and strong, I think there's a reason for that.JEMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043891292719086478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-51105954835055228702010-04-21T10:33:58.919-04:002010-04-21T10:33:58.919-04:00It happens all the time to me, subsequently I neve...It happens all the time to me, subsequently I never seem to get anything finished.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685341739870191402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-49720915003643188792010-04-21T08:41:36.617-04:002010-04-21T08:41:36.617-04:00It happened to me on my last project.

So I started researching paranormal creatures just as a lark. Couldn't sleep that night for all the ideas that came flooding to me. I started doing character bios and world-building for the new project. Then I started writing it.<br /><br />But 12K in, the allure of the project I'd started 7-8 years prior and had been working on for those couple months before got to me and I went back to it.<br /><br />Now I'm working on the "new" project and it's better for having let it sit for a few months.Stephanie McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507025637411479409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-43374097748514935002010-04-21T07:16:21.531-04:002010-04-21T07:16:21.531-04:00This has never happened to me, but I'm pretty ...This has never happened to me, but I'm pretty new to writing so I don't know if I count.<br /><br />I would say you should be glad. To have more than one thing to write about exciting you at once - that's awesome.<br /><br />I would go with whatever is the most inspiring at that moment, but you obviously know what you're doing - so don't listen to me, unless you want to.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.com
