In this episode of Three Lesbians and a Pen, bestselling authors Kimberly Todd, KC Luck, and Jamey Moody dive into the surprisingly complicated question: how do you decide what to write next? From passion projects and sticky note brainstorms to writing based on tropes, trends, and even reader requests, the hosts share their unique and often hilarious approaches to choosing their next book idea.
KC, fresh into full-time author life, talks about chasing the stories that won’t leave her alone—like the Darkness series that was never meant to be a series. Jamey explains how she balances standalones and series by thinking about tropes she wants to explore, and Kimberly admits that her next project often comes down to the idea she’s been quietly obsessing over for months. They all agree that excitement and fun are non-negotiable—if the idea isn’t lighting them up, it probably won’t last through chapter three.
Whether you're a new writer trying to pick your next project or a reader curious about what sparks a story, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical advice, and laughs. Next week, they’ll be tackling the biggest challenges facing indie authors—don’t miss it!
