Hi Page2,
First of all, a big fat CONGRATULATIONS on completing the first draft of REMEMBRANCE. I can appreciate how much effort that took :D I've heard the advice (can't remember where) that you should leave your first draft aside for 6 months so that you can return to it with fresh eyes when you come to edit. That's what I'm planning to do, when I finally finish the first draft of CLADDAGH (it will be finished, it will it will it will).
Secondly, I'm thrilled that you decided to pick Seren's Angel. I was impressed by the opening and intrigued by the premise, so I'm looking forward to reading more about Seren/James and his persuers.
Thirdly, I can appreciate the position of having multiple stories in your head and having to make a decision. I hate making decisions. Even in RL. You know what I do sometimes? I toss a coin. Seriously. But here's the trick: when the coin toss comes up, I take note of how I feel. Either I feel thrilled/relieved (so that's the option to go for) or disappointed/distraught (in which case the other option is the one I hoped would come up). Nobody says you've got to stick with the coin toss, but it can indicate how you actually felt all along.
