Hey pretty ppl! <3
I have this habit of coming up with stories in my head and then I spend days and sometimes weeks just daydreaming 24/7 about ideas I have for the book. Sometimes I end up making a few chapters and a cover, but lately I've been avoiding starting any stories that pop up in my mind because most of the time I end up discontinuing them anyways. Here I am again, reading a Charles Leclerc fanfic and suddenly, without me even wanting to, my body and half of my brain start doing everything on autopilot and the other half of my brain starts literally thinking of ideas, the whole fricking plot and more (during literally more than half of the day) for my own Charles Leclerc fic. I love it but it frustrates me that I have trouble sticking to a story once I've started it. You might think it sounds a little more serious now that I've explained how much my brain thinks of these ideas, but let me tell you how bad it actually is:
Right now, I have:
- 5 (maybe even more) discontinued stories I've come up with in the past one and a half years (some aren't discontinued because I really like them, but I just never have the time/energy to update them)
- 1 story I am actually really working on (partly because I decided to choose it as my piece of work for a project at school, partly because I really really love it)
- 5 stories in my head that my brain still works on daily eventhough I haven't started them or anything (one of them is the Charles fic I'm plotting in my head rn)
Uhm... Yeah... Kind of a serious problem, right? And the thing is, if I really like one of those fics/ideas/plots I come up with in my head, I start looking up pictures that fit the story on Pinterest. Then, I of course still have school. School is very busy rn and it's pretty tiring. Add my non-stop thinking of stories... = very energy-draining. (the reason why I don't get around to updating/writing much is because I'm too busy w school)
PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS OR RECOMMENDATIONS!<3
