How I Decide What Story to Write Next

A recording from Erica Drayton's live video

Having multiple story ideas can be hard enough without wanting to write them all at once! But sometimes that just isn’t possible.

Case in point: Return to Twilight. A kernel of an idea I had to take some Twilight Zone episodes that I’ve always wanted to retell in some unique way, and just do it! But which story should I start with?

In this Live stream I take you through the method to my madness. A peak behind the curtain at my Scrivener set-up and how I think out loud when deciding what project to work on next.

Here is a list of the stories I’m looking to write. A screenshot from my Scrivener doc where I’m keeping my outlines and the eventual short story as well:

The outline is nearly complete for Night Call and with any luck, I’ll share with you what that looks like before I start writing the actual story.

Join me for my next live video in the app when I will have some writing sprint time as well!
