This happens to me all the time. I have a good idea for a story, plan on trying to create some characters or something, then I go to bed and get 1000000 new ideas for other stories. Or I think about a plot twist in the story that I’m writing and what would change if the story went another way which creates a totally different story and then I add zombies or superheroes to that idea and get even more ideas
So, basically, I just always have too many story ideas and don’t know what to do with them. Most of them aren’t even good ideas Some might be but I should focus on finishing a story for once!
And tips on how to deal with having too many story ideas?
Literally write them all down! Every idea is valuable! At some point you will use them. I found myself having a few ideas which fitted in later on in a story I’m writing.
Ahhh relatable. I get story ideas like everytime and it’s sometimes too annoying because it’s usually more interesting that what I’m currently writing ;-;
But I reserve them later. Usually, I try and think of ways to put and connect them all together too. Like, recycling or stuff. Orrrr yeah, plot twists. I use them to think of plot twists and such.
Sometimes, I also end up planning a series just to put them in place and not bother me because I need to finish what I’ve started first.
I have a MASSIVE problem with this. I try to write them down in my writing ideas journal thing for a later date. But I could really use some more help.
@idiot.exe, do you have any ideas for how to deal with this problem?
