[My loyal servants and I just destroyed this pathetic little town. We've slain dozens of people in this place. I tortured hundreds of them with my own two hands. Their screams and pleas for mercy echoing throughout the night. Their blood is scattered throughout the town, splattered on my dress, and dripping off my hands. After putting the town to ruin and leaving it to burn, I heard a faint cry. But each step I took was becoming harder for me. Why? The innocent little whimpers wouldn't let me leave. I returned to the center of the town and found an 8 year old child crying for her mother, who was long dead in the rubble of a collapsed building. Memories of my traumatic past come back to me with the echoes of her cries. I hand her my rose, a symbol for my loyal servants to spare her life. They all saw the rose in the child's hand, and already knew that the child now belonged to me. I extended my hand to her and she quickly took it without hesitation, admiring the rose I gifted her. I took her away with me saying, "My name is Nyxa, little one. I guess you're not afraid of me, huh."]

If you look at my page, it’s pretty evident that I have a habit of starting projects that I'm probably never going to finish. It's like I get this spark of inspiration, and I dive in headfirst, only to find myself juggling multiple ideas at once. One week, I’m passionately crafting a new chapter for "The Silent Vow," filled with twists and emotional depth, and the next week, I shift gears and pour my energy into "Her Kidnapper," exploring a completely different narrative voice and style. The result? I rarely focus on just one piece for any significant amount of time, and that leads to slow releases.

This seems to be a common struggle among writers. It’s hard to maintain momentum when there are so many ideas swirling around, each demanding attention. I often find myself excited about a new plot twist or character development and want to dive into that before I’ve even finished the last story. The challenge becomes how to cultivate that initial excitement into something more sustainable.

I know I’m not the only one who deals with this dilemma! So, I invite fellow writers to share your own experiences. Copy and paste your unfinished stories, plot ideas, or outlines that never made it to the page. Let's embrace our creative chaos together and maybe even spark inspiration in one another!
