What a massive waste of time that was. By Sam

So I wrote 28000 + pages then I was brushing my teeth, looked at myself in the mirror and my reflection sneers "Your book is shite.  Nobody's going to be interested in that crap".

She was right of course, it is.

So back to the drawing board.  I have three ideas, which one would you rather read?  Be honest with me.  If you was in Waterstones looking for a book, or more likely looking for the free books on e reader, which of these would you most likely pick up; if any:

1.    Working title - Benny Strikes Again.
The story of a lonely girl who deals with a traumatic incident in childhood by inventing an imaginary friend called Benny.  When she's a child he gets her into trouble by causing mischief but as she gets older his actions become more dangerous and daring and she slips deeper into her make believe world.   Is there anybody man enough to step in and take Benny on?

2.     Working title - Waiting For The Karma Bus.
A woman who spends her whole life as a victim finally gets fed up of waiting for the Karma Bus to deal with the people who hurt her and takes matter into her own hands.  She crosses names off in her Revenge Book when she thinks they've learnt their lesson but the further down the list the bigger the punishments need to be until things get out of hand.

3.     Working title - It Could Be You.
A couple spend all their time dreaming about winning the lottery, so much so that their family, friends and even complete strangers constantly say "When you win can you buy me...insert increasingly bizarre request". One day their dream comes true and they win a rollover but every single person they ever agreed to help comes out of the woodwork and they have to decide how far they are willing go to please everybody.
