Jokes on you, I am 1 decade writting the same thing and not even close to finishing it.

>>9797842
keep your schedule OP

>>9797848
probably a novel though, right? i haven't even been able to finish a single poem or short story

>>9797849
you don't think forcing a finalized version of something would be a useful learning experience?

>>9797855
Actualy, a trilogy.
But I would suggest OP to keep going. Is better to take lot's of time and have a greater possibility of getting right, rather them rushing and turning into trash (like 80% of YA's now-a-days)

sorry i didn't explain well. i'm not continuously working on one piece. i'm dropping everything as soon as i get bored or frustrated with it
my longest is a ~100 paged novella but most things i write are 2-5 pages and go nowhere

my qyuestion is whether to force myself to focus on one thing or keep writing whatever comes to mind and hope i find soemthing that i don't want to drop

>>9797887
Oh, I know the feel in part. Is hard sometimes to focus on one thing, but I usualy can get along with spikes of creativity and holes of lazyness.
My suggestion is to not push yourself to much, OP, maybe you could try to focus on your longest work and try finishing it in due time, but don't get your jimmies rustled over having troubles to write.
Keep your pace, dont force yourself and dont rush.
My suggestions, at least.

Honestly yeah, duh.

Work on one thing until it's done. How do you know it's done? You work until you realize you're getting diminishing returns from working on it, you're making fewer big changes and they take longer to make. When you get to that point, you'll still think it's imperfect and you'll dislike it, but then you should submit it somewhere anyway.

One thing to consider OP, is that whatever you do, you will always find flaws on your work. That's natural, and at some degree, good. But don't keep the bread on the oven forever or you will overcook it.
