I have an issue (and I'm not sure if this is the right place for my post): I'm having trouble with sticking to writing and finishing one story at a time. It's like, I'll get an idea for a story (usually along with a title), and I'll start it...but when I get a first few pages written, I don't know...I just get distracted by a different story idea and lose inspiration for it. And that's when I'll start a new story with the intent to finish that one, and the same thing happens. As of right now, I have close to 40 documents in my Story Drafts folder, over 100 ideas for stories and story titles and I haven't finished a story since June. If anyone has any tips on staying focused on just one story until it's finished, I'd appreciate it immensely.

I suspect you are procrastinating. There are techniques to help with that.
Are you afraid of finishing? Could you be afraid of people judging your work ?
Are you afraid of rejection if you send it to an agent ?
Or could you just enjoy the idea creation part so much and hate the hard work of instantiating the final result that you avoid finishing the stories.
Do you have problems finishing other things or just your stories ?
