What to do? Gotta get some writing advice.
13 years ago
To put the issue simply, I need some advice. I have two problems with my writing, and I'm looking for help to solve them both. If you have any ideas, or are willing to help me out, let me know.
The first issue is that I have far too many ideas that I'd love to get down on paper. I have whole worlds that develop in my mind, that I want dearly to share with everyone out there. What do I pick to share? Out of all the thousands of stories that could be told, how do you pick one or two to write on?
Secondly, is to get myself darn motivated enough to make a dent in all of the stuff I have above. I've been writing off and on for the last few months, but it's been off and on at best. Then since I have my writing all unfocused, I have made little progress on anything.
Please what do I do to fix all this? Do I get some sort of beta-reader that keep bothering me all the time? Do I just keep going as I am and hope to finish? Do I scrap it all and just start a brand new project? I am willing to entertain any ideas given to me, because I'm pretty much clueless how to approach all this.
Thanks.

Getting people to support you is always a great thing, to push you and be interested in what you do, it'll motivate you :)
Scrapping it is up to you, how is your connection to those ideas? If it's something you look forward to developing, keep it, but be critical.
Develop a new pace at which to write every day or perhaps just every week, depending on your priorities ^^
I'd love to help out.
