Oh! I didn't know you answered writing questions! May I ask one pretty please? What do you do when you have a million stories in your head and don't know which one to write first? Try to write two or three at the same time? That seems like the easy way out, but what if I can't really focus in any of them? I have a long history of making really long stories and never finishing any of it, dropping them in the middle after having written +200 pages on word. Writing is hard.
I do! And yes you may. I have a writing blog @rosy-writes but i don’t have as many followers as this one, and this is my main so I answer questions here and repost them there sometimes.
Too many stories in your head is not a bad problem to have. There are many solutions. You can just, you know, PICK one. And then write it. And when you’re done with that, pick another! Woo hoo!
Or you can write one until you get stuck on it, then switch to the other and write that until you’re unstuck on the first, then proceed to switch back and forth while your subconscious works on the part you were stuck on, while still keeping your writing juices flowing. I have actually done that where I’ve worked on, say a fanfic and an original fic at the same time, and they kind of work together to help me get more done on either than I would have done at all if I”d only written one story.
Or you can take two or three ideas that you have and COMBINE them to make one story. Sometimes adding unrelated ideas to the same story can give your story a frisson that deepens the story and gives you enough energy to take it all the way through.
Actually, the one thing that I think you should, the problem I think you’re ACTUALLY having, is not about having too many ideas, it’s about not committing to finishing any of your stories.
That’s the challenge YOU have.
You need to get to the end of your book and write the conclusion. You need to pick a book. And you need to commit to it. And you need to not run away until you get to the end.
Stop running away from finishing. Work at it every day until you get there.
