Hi everyone!
I'm having trouble committing to a novel premise. I get an idea, like it for a bit... then get cold feet. I know that I'm CAPABLE of follow-through-- I "won" NaNoWriMo this year, for example-- but ever since then I think I've become determined to write a good, BIG novel and I've kind of frozen up. I suppose I'm waiting for that stroke that will tell me "this is the one..."
I'm not like this in my real life! Help! How do you decide when to commit to a premise? Any suggestions for me? Do you believe in waiting for your novel-premise soul mate or do you think that any premise can be transformed into a great novel?
Thanks!!
