I'm pretty sure I'm going with this
I've come up with a pretty solid Sentence to describe the main plot. It's tight and hits all the high points, but I think it may be a bit dry and even a teensy bit wordy. I've also nailed down quite a few Scene Sentences (one sentence that sums up all the content in a given scene). I'm thinking that my "Scenes" will be most of a chapter, and each one is looking to average out at 2,500 words.

Here's Where I'm At
The CCG project may be turning into an online social game: Facebook or Twitter. Trying to find the programmers to go along with the designs I've got in mind.
As far as my writing goes... I've done a lot of outlining and concepting on several projects, but haven't really got much to show for it.
1. Urban Fantasy - this one's more fantasy than urban but involves someone from our world ending up somewhere else.
2. Urban Supernatural - involves a group of characters
3. Steampunk - in an alternate US
4. Alternate World: Ancient - this is the 4 part, interwoven piece.
5. Alternate World: Sci-Fi
6. Alternate History: 1930s Occult
7. Steampunk - this one is geared as Young Adult
1, 2, 4, & 5 require a lot of world explanation. 6 is really close to 2 as they're both supernatural and involve multiple main characters. I've got a good start on 1 & 2 and know where it's going (bad guys, motivation, plot twists, etc), but I wonder if those genres are kinda full at the moment. 3 needs some work - specifically the villain. I've got him but I wonder if his motivation is too weak/petty. 7 is the least formed out of all of them.
I'm leaning towards 2 or 3.
