I need some advice!
Ok, so I had this cool idea for a project. So I started on it, but it's not finished yet.
Then I had ANOTHER cool idea for a project, and started on it, and that's also not finished!
And now I have ANOTHER cool idea!!
It seems that when I start something, I get distracted by a new idea, and never finish it!!
Any advice? I want to finish all of these projects.

Re: I need some advice!
Me too!
I get around it by having an "ideas" list, and an "unfinished projects" list. That way, I don't forget about the projects I stop working on, because whenever I'm bored, I just get to work on those

Re: I need some advice!
I used to struggle with that a LOT while writing stories. What I like to do is just right down a new idea I have, but stay focused on my current one. If I really lose enthusiasm for my current story, then I'll stop, but I won't be quick to abandon it. So, just try, at least, to finish your current one.

*sigh* the story of my life... :p
I totally understand what you mean. I do it a lot.
I guess the best advice I have is don't go out half cocked.
Before you start, make sure you have the whole project thoroughly though through, from beginning to end. And make plan for yourself on how your going to complete it.
It helps a lot if you have a plan laid out to keep you focused and motivated.

Re: I need some advice!
Keep making new ideas, get them written down, then work on the first idea.
The Intergalactic Adventures of Revesilia! I hope you will partake in this gigantic undertaking, to build the sequel to the hit map The Adventures of Revesilia! The Intergalactic Adventures of Revesilia Map Builders Application thread!

Re: I need some advice!
Try making a short easy project. When you're done, you'll feel so rewarded that because finished a project that you will finish all of them. :p
