The Two Fathers is the only novel I've ever worked substantially on. Thus, it is my priority. It's real problem is fighting for attention among my other hobbies

Not sure if this is where to put it, but, here goes. Of all your multiple stories, which one grabs you? The one you have the most hopes for? Mine is currently titled the Time Fault and it's been around since I was about 10. It's undergone numerous re-constructions, started fantasy, been converted to Sci-fi/fantasy, to sci-fi, and back to sci-fi/fantasy. But the story's core has stayed the same. Mainly the characters. It walks the borders of obsession. So what about you? - Terra |

I don't have much experience with stories (having only written two worth mentioning) but I think I concentrate most on the stories that will grab me by the throat. Or rather, the characters that will grab me by the throat. When I finished my first novel I had a sequel already planned, since I let a couple of villains escape. Problem is, my planned perspective character A)isn't very talkative, B)is annoyingly sarcastic and cynical C)hates excitement. She isn't me. Or rather, she is me, but the darker side of me that I don't want to face. On the other hand, I have a third book planned from my favorite character's perspective and even though I have less ideas and structure for his story than for her story, I find myself wanting to skip the second book entirely and just write the third one.

I haven't written very many, or at least enough to get attached to them, but I definitely want to get my first story finished someday. |

I've experienced such problems with my story Alaidia/Peter's Angel. Once it was an epically long work without a defined MC, then it became a trilogy, and now it's back to a standalone - but I'm only focusing on a chunk of the original plot, and I have a different MC. It's one work I've had going for years, so I won't give up on it unless God calls me to - but I don't stress over it if I let it rest for a while. My writing priorities change weekly, sometimes daily. I go in obvious spurts with my longer works. Short works I usually tend to finish promptly or not at all, and deadlines are one thing that will get me to ignore my own whims. But on a general scale, I need variety. It's just how I work. I admire those that can stick solidly with one work for months. |

It depends. On the weather, the music I'm listening to, the last book I read, who I'm talking to, which character is being the most polite... The Prince of Yen is what I call my masterpiece, the story I really, really do want to finish above all else. Lightning Ranger is the story that won't let me go, even when I've considered totally abandoning it. The Last Wizard is the book I want to write when I feel sorry for characters because Morgon is just... he's so miserable. I feel tremendously sorry for him. But that might just be for now, I'm not sure if The Last Wizard is always this high on my priority list.

For me, it really depends. Generally an idea will grab me and I'll do a lot of thinking about it for a while and it's harder to work on other things. Then another idea, whether older or newer, will catch my attention and become the one I do a lot of thinking about. There's a sci-fi story, currently unnamed, that I really do want to write someday. It got more intimidating when I realized it was placed on Earth and I'd have to sit down and figure some things out, but I do want to write it. Other than maybe that, I'm not sure if there's any one story that holds me the most. |

My last would have to be my favourite! Probably because I know the most about the characters, the background, etc. Hardly anything of what I know about it is in the story. And I ended up liking the villain... well, at least I felt sorry for him...

Mine would have to be the trilogy I started writing a few years ago. I fell in love with all my characters, even though I put them through so much, and I worked the hardest on the cultures and their economies and languages. I stopped writing it because I thought it was getting very cliché, but it's never left my mind. I actually feel bad when I think about it. It feels like I'm ignoring an old friend. I still want to see it finished though, but it will have to wait until I feel I have the skill to do it justice. So, I'm working on a less epic story right now. |

My favorite right now is the Book of Sorrven fantasy I've been working on! I am developing it as much as I can, even though the book is only a couple chapters right now; of what I know about the world; I could fill a library. |

I'm not sure. Bonesword has compelling themes and the potential to be an individual masterpiece novel. On the other hand, The Mark Trilogy is far more epic in scope and would be downright more fun to write. Honestly, right now my priority is more world building than stories. I'm the kind of person who can't create characters till I know my world, and can't create plots until I understand my characters. |
