In 2008, I wrote 2 complete novels. I started another 2. Of the 4, I've trashed them all. 2 I'll try to completely rewrite, while I'm trying to figure out if the 3rd is even worth saving. I've completed many novels through my life, but I eventualy decide they're not worth it and trash them.
So now I'm in a crisis. I'm currently about halfway through another novel, and I don't know if I should keep on writing it, since chances are it's going to get trashed again. Sure, it seems like a great idea now, but so did the others.
Is this normal? Trashing so many proyects? Or is it just that they're all the warm-up proyects I need as I learn the art of writing?
Or maybe it's that I've no idea how to edit, so trashing proyects seems much easier than setting them right. Ugh!
