Today I realized that I have roughly 100 story ideas, plots etc. logged into my WIP tracking spreadsheet. And while this could be a great thing for someone who wants to write as a career, I am finding it more and more difficult to a) focus on and complete one idea/story and b) sit still and write. Honestly, its a little discouraging to be so organized but still lack focus.
At first I thought it was because I was in school. So I worked to complete my degree anticipating that I would have more time to write, but sadly that hasn't happened yet. Now I think it's the actual stress of not writing and feeling like I should be writing.
To date, I've tried everything from scheduling writing time, taking my laptop to work and writing on lunch, to outlining (or some form of it). But I am still not seeing the results of growing word counts or growing stacks of completed works.
I'm not sure what to do. But I do know that not writing is not healthy for me, So I have to figure something out. I would love some suggestions from those who have been where I am.
