6. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?
Sometimes it feels like most of my original novel ideas are like this...
There's one in particular that I have tried to write twice, which is so bloody complicated I'm struggling to think how to describe it: an earthquake kills off the government of the island city of Neriad (the silly rulers built their palace out of brick, never mind they lived on a volcanic island).
The story basically follows a number of different players jockeying to rule the city, and there are so many of them and it's so bloody complicated. I need to go through with a machete and clear out subplots.
