Alright everyone who reads this blog or comes across it, I’m going to need your help. Wait, don’t click away! This is very easy. You just need to give me your opinion. It’s simple, it’s painless, all you need do is read the post and then answer a question. Not so scary now, huh?
Well, I’m trying to get my novel Reborn City picked up by an agent, and I’ll have some time to write this summer. However, I don’t want to start RC’s sequel yet, not until the book has at least been picked up by an agency, and I don’t always have ideas for short stories on hand (if only I did!). So I’m going to spend the summer working on a novel. Problem is, of all my ideas I’m having trouble choosing between two of them. To me, they’re both really good ideas, the characters would be awesome to work with, the research would be fun for me, and it’d be a way to polish my skills while I’m out of classes.
I just need to choose! So I’m leaving it up to you, oh-so helpful blog readers and writers. I’m having trouble setting up a poll with WordPress, so you guys are going to have to leave comments down below to participate. I’m counting on you. I also don’t mind if you tell me your reasons for picking that answer.
Here are the options:
1. A serial killer is roaming New York City and going after the mafia. Why is he doing this, and why do we want to root for him? That’s the intrigue to this story that’s inspired by Taken and inspired heavily by slasher films.
2. A young girl with a horrific past becomes the center of a manhunt when she discovers a secret plot involving some of the nation’s top intelligence officers. How does she become embroiled in this serious plot, and how does it hearken back to her dark past? I can’t remember what inspired this story, but I definitely have a soft spot for the main character.
Alright folks. Vote away. The poll ends June 10, my birthday and the day summer vacation officially starts for me. I won’t accept any comments after that. Good luck and thank you!

I like the first idea. It’s Dexter-esque.
i haven’t seen the show, so i’ll take your word for it. but thanks for the feedback. i don’t know if the story is anything like dexter, but i tend to think it’d be intriguing.
I agree…. I like the first one. I simply adore a well written anti-hero.
he’s definitely ant-heroish. the well-written part…let’s hope i’m up to it.
No 2 maybe – I’m personally not keen on serial killers.
i really can’t say from personal experience, but i hear it’s like liquors–it’s an acquired taste.
First one! I’d totally read that!
I figured you would; someone who writes mysteries would definitely go for thriller/mystery.
I personally love serial killer stories, I’m currently addicted to Criminal Minds. I think I would have to go with the first one, though I would like a little more elaboration on each idea before coming to a final decision for my vote.
well, i can’t say much or that’ll ruin the fun. however, i’d say that knowing you–which i do–you’d probably go for the first option, like you said above. so yeah, i’ll put you down for that.
I vote #2
just curious, but why?
