Love this! The shiny new idea is the worst especially when it comes about while you're working on something else. And the thing is, it is only an idea so usually it's not even a real fleshed out story. I hate it so much! Although I read somewhere that having another story idea can be a good thing because that way you have something else to work on when you finish your current project. It can be both a good and a bad thing. *sigh*

Thank you for loving and reading my work. My issue is my shiny new ideas tend to be a totally fleshed out story, so I get started writing it, and abandon my original idea. But you're right, it's better to put it away and have it to work on after completing the current project.

Cool way to decide what story to write! Best of luck with your current book project, it sounds fun.
