I think my "Dear Plot" letter summed it up best earlier today:
Dear Plot #1 and Plot #2,
One knock down drag out fight. Only one may emerge from the octagon. Seriously. One of you needs to kill the other. That way I can focus on just one of you and make it work.
Don't make Mommy choose. Sort this amongst yourselves. And maybe next year, the loser can come play.
Thanks,
Your author
I see myself drawing one of the two titles out of a hat in the near future! And sadly, there is no hope of merging these two bastards into one idea, and neither is falling into the tangle of plot holes or irreconcilable logic failure.
I know, whine more. Because it's actually an awesome problem to have. Suspect I may lean more toward the modern relationship/character study fiction piece, because it is a little more removed from my comfort zone. The fantasy "apocalypse meets Wuthering Heights"? Yeah, that's right up my alley. Both original and novel format, so no rebel writer status for me this year. I'm doing it straight old school! ;)
For now though, I'm continuing with both outlines, both sets of character developments, and plodding through set up work on both pieces. I've given myself till the 20th to make a decision on which project to go through with, so about then, I'll start some of the more fun projects, like covers, post secrets, and sketches. After a name comes out of a hat.
