I've been writing a novel for literally eight years now; at the moment I'm mostly editing and fixing the last details, then I plan on translating it into English (not my first language, evidently) and eventually try and publish it somehow. Been feeling kinda uninspired these days, though; so I thought to myself, "ya know what'll get your juices flowin'? Begin something entirely new" - NaNoWriMo and whatnot.
So the thing is, I have thousands of ideas floating in my head right now (leftovers from previous works, bits and pieces I couldn't fit anywhere, you know the drill), but for whatever reason I can't seem to organize them into... Anything, so far. What do, /lit/? How do you guys stay inspired, how do you find that voice inside that says, "yup, that's some good shit, keep going"?

Bump, I guess? I'm sorry for the silly pic, this is a serious post.
get rid of as many ideas as you can

That's what I've been trying to do, but it's kinda hard to give up on stuff that you feel is good (or okayish, at least) and yet have already been "recycled" once. It's like I have material for a few short stories but I'm trying to cram it all into a novel.

Do you want to just help me edit my novel instead?
Its experimental so you could just write whatever you wanted while reading it

Write flash fiction. The ideas may only hold in a few paragraphs after all.

I used to be inspired, until I got onto 4chan /lit/
