DUELING
WIPs
Help decide my next story!
Dear Reader,
I can’t begin to tell you what a dreadful state I’m in. I am nearly frighted out of my wits that I might never finish another novel. After the extreme vexation of writer’s block, I now suffer from writing several books— and at the same time—and have more story lines still in my head! I flat out refuse to start a fourth prior to finishing the second or the third.
I can get no rest neither by night nor by day. To relieve me of my suffering some decision must now be made. I find it necessary to complete one before the other can be worked upon. The affront is intolerable; one WIP had all of my devotion before the other caught my eye. There is only one thing for it: A duel. You decide which novel shall have the distinction of being my next.
I shall, upon my honor, devote my self until it is finished. Unless, of course, writer’s block stumps me again, and the other plot reveals itself. But for now, I must put one of them away.
Which one is best suited to see an early grave?
My best wishes for your health and happiness,
Pemberley Darcy
The Field of Honor

Check out A Frankness Of Character for something to read in the mean time. If you haven’t heard Harry Frost narrate it, you’re missing out. He did a brilliant job voice acting all of the subtle nuances.
I liked WIP B – first because I’ve not read any where Lady Catherine and Elizabeth are allies, and 2 because it’s “closest to being completed” 🙌
Thanks for chiming in!
B sounds really interesting.
Thanks so much for taking a minute to weigh in!
B sounds something different!
Thanks for voting! I hope you enjoy it when it comes out!
Allied with LCdB! It’s got to be WIP B! I need this story now!
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it!
B sounds more like my cup of tea!
Thanks for voting!
Definitely B The transformation of Darcy is the most appealing theme. I
Thanks for weighing in!
I like story B the best!
Thanks for voting!
B
Thanks for weighing in!
Since you are close to finishing B, Pemberley, I would go with that one and just finish it up. (And for goodness sake, PLEASE do yourself a favor and write all the plot bunnies currently hopping around in your head down sooner than later so you don’t forget them! You’ll be so glad you did, and your readers will thank you for all those wonderful future stories). :)
Thanks so much for chiming in! That is some very solid advice. I’m very certain I’ve already lost half a dozen ideas. When it rains it pours but when I don’t have an idea I can’t write a word
Too true! I force myself to grab my phone in the middle of the night to record my idle ideas now. I have lost so many lines of dialog and interesting plot twists by just telling myself that I’ll remember them before rolling over and going back to sleep. And it KILLS me. Write everything down. Everything. :) Happy writing!!!
It so far seems unanimous that it should be B. I agree
Sharon, thanks so much for taking time to let me know what you think!
I agree with B! On initial reading, A seems similar to Death Comes to Pemberley, or at least with several common themes. But B seems more unique and therefore I say run with that!
That’s interesting. I went back and read the description and now I see why you would think that about A. The plot will be very different though. Thanks for stopping by and voting though.
Both sound interesting but B sounds easiest to finish. And absolutely cage up and write down those extra plot bunnies!
Michelle, thanks for stopping by and voting. I appreciate you!
I would love B first since I love the idea of allied lady C
It looks like you’re on the winning tea! Thanks for stopping by and voting.
Though I do like stories that explore life post-novel, (like A) I’m going to have to agree and say work on B first! It’s not often Lady Catherine isn’t portrayed as an absolute villain and I’d love to see it!
Aimee, thanks so much for stopping by and voting. I was beginning to wonder if I should be bothering with A at all!
I vote for B!
Thanks so much for weighing in!
I vote for WIP B as I want to see what the “allied with Lady C” is really about and how Darcy & Elizabeth will grow through the truth about both of their characters/beliefs/challenges adjust as they go through this journey. I kind of hope that Jane will grown on her own & realize that she doesn’t want a puppy (Bingley) for a husband unless he learns to stand on his own. I also look forward to WIP A as I wonder what scandal could have generational issues (makes me think about being a trader to the crown, major high level scammer/fraud/smuggler, child/adult smuggling, etc). And I hope that Elizabeth can put her relations in their place without it destroying her or Darcy’s life and their family.
Hi Glory, thanks for dropping by to vote! As to WIP A, nobody has guessed it yet. I’m pretty sure I’ve hit on something pretty unique.
B, definitely! But remember all the ideas you have for A…you may be able to finish it sooner than later.
Thanks for stopping by Ann! I appreciate your input.
I like B. A is similar to books I’ve read already.
Thanks so much for stopping by to comment!
My two cents: Finish WIP B first. Good luck!
Karen, thanks so much for taking a moment to weight in!
I seem to be with the masses on this one. WIP B looks more intriguing right now.
Neville, thanks for stopping by and letting me know. I appreciate you!
Hi Neville, you won the drawing for your choice of audiobooks. You can choose A Frankness of Character or Memory House. Just let me know what you prefer.
Both sound interesting. No help there.
But watch out for autocorrect. Bennet’s is possessive. Bennets is plural. I know I have to watch out for it.
All the best.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!
B. I prefer ‘what if’ books more than sequels.
Thanks for letting me know.
I would choose B. First, because you say it is the closest to HEA. Second, because it sounds unique in the JAFF world.
Hi Rose, thanks for stopping by and sharing your opinion.
B definitely.
Hi Heather, thanks for voting!
