How many stories have you started?
(if you write stories)
By that, I mean all the ones you've put on paper, no matter how. And since I know that as a creative writer, you have a thousand other ideas in your head, I'll just say: those ideas don't count! 😉
I’m really just writing about a story. I think it’s better to focus on a project and finish it, instead of catching a bunch of stories and then forgetting because I’m falling for a new one.
The ideas I’m going around in my head, though, I’m still on paper. This has two main reasons: I don’t want to forget them, but also have them out of my head so that they don’t blow around the next three days. In other words, although I only actively write on a book, there are countless other works that I have already put on paper despite everything. Most of the time, it is more preparatory work, e.g. figures that develop slowly, conflicts, etc., or ideas like I could combine several ideas. In rare exceptional cases, however, there are also concrete scenes.
About 350. All with more or less finished concepts.
Oje
It’s not that bad again. I know I’m not going to finish these in my life anymore. If I can make one every couple of months I can publish, that’s okay.
over 600. tells me the property field of my Word files. And that’s what I mean. I have 5 different beginnings and develop what I’m thinking about, I don’t have the right to publish this even though the offer for 2 was already available.
Since I delete one, there is a remnant file for every start, where everything comes in, what you can use again sometime. Probably the last sentence.
It’s finished 60.
Oh, I have one.
Just one.
But I’m only at the first chapter. It is a horror/sci-fi story that combines various scientific theories in a story. For example, the large filter, the Fermi Paradoxon, etc., and a supplemented building block combines these theories. In this history, mankind finds the reason for all these theories, but as human beings are standing, greedy, self-righteous, they try to use them to their advantage and activate something that lies far behind their imagination. Just like any other species did it before them. I really have to write on:)
Actually, only two. The rest is going around somewhere in my head.

These are many…
Right
The ones I still have access to would be 5-6. There’s more, but that doesn’t exist anymore.
