How To Decide What Story You Should Write Next

Too many story ideas, not enough time. < this is something that a lot of writers say (myself included.) What does it mean? That we have TONS of story ideas… and no idea when or how to tackle writing ALL of them.

We obviously can’t write ALL the stories at the same time. So the question becomes: how do we choose which story to write NEXT? This is something I ask myself at the beginning of a new year or season of life… and you’ve probably been thinking about it lately as well.

It’s 2020! It’s time to start thinking about your next writing project. And I know it can be super frustrating and overwhelming to look at your GIANT list of story ideas and try to choose which one you’re going to wholeheartedly commit yourself to. Which is why today I’m sharing my bulletproof process for deciding which story to write next. 

In this episode we cover:

  • the list you should make before you even look at your story ideas
  • my step-by-step process for organizing my story ideas
  • and deciding which one I am going to FALL IN LOVE WITH 
  • plus the final qualifier MAGIC question that will shine a spotlight on the story that matters the most to you

Let’s talk.

Let’s talk plot bunnies! How do YOU decide what story to write next?? If you could only write ONE more story, what would it be?? If you try out this process, let me know how it went!
