Brainstorm
Set a timer – 2 minutes.
Spend 2 minutes jotting down all you can think of for each book idea – paper/pen or computer.
Emotional Pull?
Go through your notes for each book and write down:
When you were thinking of ideas, which book idea got you the most excited?
Which one did you come up with the most ideas for?
Which one do you feel most strongly about?
Series – Where It Fits
Ideally, you need a minimum of 3 books in a series.
If you have 2 books published, working on an idea for a 3rd would be good.
If it’s a new book/series idea:
Can you come up with at least 2 other ideas for a series?
Research those ideas.
Which To Choose First?
The one that will:
Fit into an existing series.
Be profitable – lots of searches, other books in this category doing well on Amazon.
Give you a buzz while writing it.
Be quick to write.
