How do you select ideas from all the ones floating around?
My stories usually come when some person, or an image of them, an action they're doing, a location they're in, etc, gets stuck in my head. Usually there's a strong emotional feel attached. My new book, for instance, started when I was dozing away one morning and in my head a woman woke up next to a dead body and said, "Oh, no. Not again." That made me sit up.
I spent the entire day working on finishing this Dungeon for "Troves" and all I managed to do was create 4 new mechanics and 3 variants of the dungeon.
At what point should I just leave well enough alone?
Some of it is looking quite cool, I think. Other stuff might just be a hat on a hat. I dunno. Needs playtesting, really.
