Fit the first

So, this is blogging.

What fun.

To begin: I'm an author, currently unpublished. I have a number of different ideas, some a fair way along on the way to being worked out and others still in the perpetually formless mind-smog of the creator-gods.

Hail Cerridwen!

Thing is, I wrote a novella that I foolishly called 'TK+'. Not particlarly well-written, but I did create it when I was only young. That fitted into the 'thriller' genre and with a little work on the editing front, could make a good novel.

After a couple of years I wrote a self-exploratory (read self-indulgent!) artsy-novel called 'La Reponse'. Again, with some work this could be a good piece of work.

I then created a tale called 'Heng' in the thriller genre with elements of Sci-Fi. By then my writing style was beginning to settle in to it's own space, but my focus appeared to loosen after 60,000 words and the ending feels rushed. I need to sit down and work through the tale to fix the problems and it'll be a cracking yarn!

After a year I began work on a thriller piece and almost simultaneously a fantasy-genre piece. I love the thriller tale and have the story pretty much worked out. The first part of the fantasy tale is all worked out, chapter structures all mapped and large swathes already written. All I need to do is sit down and finish the damned thing!

I've also got an idea for a straighforward commercial novel that is on the tip of my keyboard, not to mention more thriller, more Sci-Fi and more fantasy ideas stored away (one even from idle days at school spent day dreaming).

I just need to figure out which project I would be better off completing first; which project would be most likely to be successfully published.

So, that's my dilemma! Still, I guess it's better to have too many ideas than none at all! I should quit complaining and just get on with one of them. Hmm. Which one, however, remains the question of perplexity.
