So far i have 2 good ideas...

I have started a total of five stories, but I have only continued one. I will continue another one of them, but I didn't yet because I want to finish the one I am working on now.

I'm working on two stories, though one is a series of seven.

I'm also trying to write a documentary.

I try not to get involved in too many projects at once, but occasionally I'll start a short story that will never be finished.

Half of the space on my macbook is unfinished stories, and there is no way I am counting them. Then we have a computer downstairs filled to the brim. Of course, this is a span over several years. I only really concentrate on three of the stories.

=D

Since most of the stories I write are based on dreams I've had...plenty. Well, not plenty that I attempt to write, just plenty of ideas going through my head and a lot of brainstorming. Since I'm in a writer's block, I've attempted most of the ones I can remember which is over fifteen. Sadly, none of them are posted.

Right now I have 2 good ideas that I'm working on.

No, make that 3. :)

Attempt? Wow. I've attempted more than I can remember. Which is the problem. However, I do make it a point to not have more than two stories going at one time. I keep a text document just for my ideas, though, and my latest one that I started two days ago has about 5 potential plots on it. If I get stuck in writer's block for the two stories I'm currently working on, I'll take a break and shape out one of my other ideas without letting myself actually start writing it. The hardest part is being disciplined and finishing what I've started before starting something else. It's worth it though :)

And my overall goal is to develop 1 out of every 3 ideas I have into a full start-to-finish story.

I'm the kind of person who takes on too much at a time. I'm currently writing four or five stories. Actually... Only one is still being written, all the others have been abandoned. I've only finished one long story (more than 10 000 words) and one-shots. Since that story I've never finished any other.

I'm hoping that the one I'm writing now, "Memories", will get finished.

I know what my problem is: I don't do outlines.

I did with the first one, so that turned out okay. But the others didn't have any written outlines. Only mental ones, which don't help much. Also the characters tend to take over the story...

As of now, I have four stories. One I may delete, and the others are pretty good. They are all still at chapter one though. Well, my fourth story would be only chapter one, I uploaded it last night. I think the reason I like writing is that I go with the flow, I don't plan it, so I even don't know what's gonna happen, but I still think ahead. And when I do that, I lose interest in the story. It's sad, all my talent that I am not sure I even have, gone to waste, thanks boredomYou ruin yet another story. I still have like ten stories on FF.Net that aren't finished.

(it's almost sad. For me.)

You know, it's sad really. The hardest part of being a writer is that you have to live through being patient enough the finish one story before moving on to the next great idea. Me? Well, as of now i'd say about 13 more stories, but as it tends to be, i'll end up getting more and more ideas as i progress, and who knows, maybe i'll still be writing here when i'm getting ready to be laid to rest.

I'm attempting five right now. "Nightmare" is the one I'm sticking with most, partially because I just figured out where I want it to go... it started off as a one-shot psychological thing, then I continued it and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a quickie. Maybe 20 chapters, if I'm lucky. "Life and Times of a Britney Spears Impersonator" is also going to be a quickie. I'll be lucky to get 10 chapters out of that.

Both Phoenix Rising stories are written, per se. I'm just editing them, but it's taking forever to do the first and second books simultaneously, especially now that I'm intertwining a lot of little details.

Then of course, "The Once and Future Queen" is planned to be long. That's going to be an absolute monster, but I'm excited about it. So... I'm finishing five at once. Yikes.

I'm working on three at the same time at the moment, but it takes me forever to actually get them done because I take forever to edit them. I've also got a bunch of ideas bouncing around all at the same time, but my problem is is that I want to get all of them written down and completed, which is... impossible, to say the least.

I think I have about 15 or 16 on my flashdrive just sitting there. But I also have two that I'm actively working on, though I'm in research mode for one of them.
