Nicely put ^

Sluvious has given you the perfect answer. You have to focus and finish the stories - one at a time.

Yeah I definetly agree finish one first!

I know an ace author who released a collection of first chapters of stories he would never finish, and it was ace. Like a glorius 3 minute pop song..some of them were better than whole books I've read.

Now that is all he writes, just starting chapters, and he's very happy and locally, well known.

Of course finishing things is great, but I think to stress about it is not going to help. why do you want to finish them?

Haha, ever heard of closure?

I think im afraid of failing. Everyone expects me to be something. They all think im a great writter and that I will publish my idea's in the future. But It's so annyouing cause I can't finish them.
But I will take your advice.
And whenever I stray i will come back and read this thread. Perhaps that will keep me on track.
