And in the end, I go with the idea that leaves me most excited. The one that I can't wait to write, because I think my enthusiasm is what will make the book good.<br /><br />And P.S. YAY!

I have several ideas percolating in my brain for my next novel, but none is demanding to be told above the others. It will, all in good time.<br /><br />To me, it sounds like you need to work on the fairytale idea. I think it's an awesome concept.

I've seen it chew up numerous writers, so you're not alone. For me, I usually have a project that's BEATING on the inside of my brain to come out. Sometimes it pans out, some times it dies at chapter 2, but they are all just dying to be told. <br /><br />In the end, remember that you're going to be dealing with this book for months (possibly years) so be sure you pick one that makes you giddy about spending time with it. I think the hard part is the idea that your whole career rests on this choice, but it doesn't. Even if this is totally the wrong book, and not the one, you can always just write another one. I know it sounds flip, but it's the truth. you really can just write another book.
