I've been looking at some of my unfinished stories and I've finally discovered a trend in my life:
1. I have a story idea.
2. I start writing it down.
3. I hate the way the story turns out.
4. I abandon the story and stop writing in general.
5. Rinse and repeat.
Right now I'm thinking of fixing my old drafts because they contain surprisingly interesting ideas. The thing is, with my current writing skills I'm just going to frustrate myself and go through the same cycle - yet again. Any tips on how to write better rough drafts? Other words of encouragement or related suggestions?
Or maybe I should just get a ghostwriter.
