I'm not saying that i don't have any ideas, i just can't "get into the Zone" as it were. I've decided to focus on three stories right now: a fantasy novel i'm writing, a fanon Season two for a show that ended after one season and a sequel series to a show that i like, but my creative juices have stopped flowing.
I've been working on my fantasy novel for 7 years straight now and i'm still not close to the end. Maybe it's because i've decided to go back and edit some parts of it, but whatever the reason, no credible author takes this long to write one book, it's embarrassing.
I started my fanfiction season two because i wanted closure with the plots of the actually show, i still do (even after hearing about how the show's actual season two was supposed to go down). But i'm still nowhere near the end, just like the fantasy novel. Maybe it's because, once again, i decided to go back and edit a few parts or maybe it's because my memories of the way some of the characters acted in the real show have a negative impact on me. I was half hoping that this could be my chance to voice my distaste of the way the main character was treated through subtle means, but i just can't make it work the way i want. I've posted five of my "episodes" online and a lot of fans liked them, to the point where they were asking for more. I know what's like to wait for something you like, so i don't want to disappoint my "fans". But i just can't oblige them.
For quite some time, I've been trumpeting the call for the creation of a fan-made sequel series to a show that i like (it was in reaction to the fan-made fifth season project made for another show made by the exact same company). But when it looked like no one was rallying behind me, i decided that it might help if i actually posted an "episode" online and get people's attention. However, despite how many ideas may run through my head, i've yet to actually finish anything.
And to top it all off, come next month, i'll have the urge to work on another novel i'm writing (a WWII based story, in response to Memorial Day)
What's a guy to do?
