Getting help with stories!!

So I am really bad at finishing stories, I usually get stuck in the middle, for those that have read my stories...I'm a bad updater (If that's a word) *turns red* anyways I was wondering how collaborations and maybe getting help (Don't know if that is the correct word to say) from other authors would work. I've come to the horrid conclusion that I may never finish some of my stories, because instead of thinking of them, I just keep getting more and more IDEAS! *Runs around like a chicken with it's head cut off, while screaming* Lately I can only think of one of my long stories, but these short stories keep popping up and I end up writing them with my time. HEEEELLLP!!   :o :o

Well, if an idea is really nagging you, get it out of the way. If you like it, but it's not too terribly alarming, see if you can work it in to your longer story. At least, that's the way I see it working. :)

kevmylove:
Duuuh! You know I had never thought about it that way. Thanks!

nicksgal:
It's the way most plot twists come about. lol

You know...I have had the same issue before! As a matter of fact that was how 'Protection' got started ( as a passing thought for a short story) but it ended up turning into something longer. Anyways, now I have ANOTHER idea brewing. I had to put down my foot though...I have 4 longer stories that I am working on and I told myself I have to finish at least one before starting another. It's actually working out for me because I am getting more and more thoughts for the new idea so now (when i DO write it) it will be longer and better AND it forces me to focus on my current stories becasue I want to get the new one started.

Does any of that make sense? Well, it does in MY mind, at least. LOL I don't know if it's any help or not but I figured I would ramble my 2 cents. *shruggs*
