I planned the order of my collection while on a train journey - that was very freeing, away from my desk with a feeling of onward momentum! Maybe a chance of scene might help you get an overview? 😊

Age of protagonist is another interesting one to consider - a tip from @isabellekenyon.bsky.social! Sweeping from young to old across the book...nothing hard and fast, but can be useful to bear in mind when you're deciding between stories 😊
