How do I choose which book outline to write first when I have 15?

[jennifer_bloom]

I have 15 book outlines and I can't decide which one to work on first, I used to have 600 book ideas but I narrowed it down to my best 15 book outlines. I hope I don't waste too much time debating between ideas and trying to determine which one to finish first.

Have a quick brainstorming session with each file. Those for which you gather the most ideas, material, stubs... are those you start with.

Write the one you'd most want to read.

[AI Opinion]

I’ve been there—too many good ideas, not enough focus. Here’s how I guide clients:

1. Score each outline (1–5) on:
- Personal excitement
- Market potential / audience size
- Ease / speed to write (knowledge, complexity)
- Strategic fit (builds your brand or series)

2. Add the scores.
Pick the highest-scoring 1–2.

3. Run a 2‑week test.
Commit to drafting only that book for 14 days. If momentum and enthusiasm stay high, keep going. If not, switch to the runner‑up.

Momentum beats perfect choice.
