Hello all
I'm having trouble deciding what I want to write next. I have a couple of ideas that are fleshed out in my head and jumping up and down, telling me to pick them, but I just don't feel 100% ready to write any of them. I'm querying now, and I know I should be working on something else, but nothing feels right. One of the ideas is a quirky and fun MG time travel-y story. One is a dark, kind of scary YA magical realism. There's an NA idea brewing too, and a couple more YA contemps inside me as well. All have such different tones and I don't feel in the mood for any of them!
I think the root of my problem is that I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire right now, and when I'm so in love with a book like this I feel like nothing else can compare. And I'm not interested in trying to write something similar to it, so why bury myself in anything else?
Any advice? I know I could try writing the first chapter of each idea but I don't want to kill something by trying it out and tossing it away.
