By project I mean like a story I've been writing or a picture I've been drawing. I always have this big idea that I want to do with whatever it is i'm doing; but most of the time I can't seem to stick with it long enough for that to pan out. I've left getting pretty close to a hundred stories/art unfinished; imagine close to a hundred peoples life stories that will never be known (I kinda connect to the characters like that; maybe I'll make anouther post about if that's normal). I was starting to wonder if it's normal or if I need to see a psychiatrist or something for some mental problem I have.

    Dunno how normal it is, but I've got similar issues. Sometimes I'll read a book most of the way through, but never bother with the portion that's mostly epilogue.

      Books are different for me amazingly; if a book manages to catch my attention I can't seem to put it down.

      So how do you deal with it? Or are you in the same boat I am?

    I do as well. I think a great way to concor this is by exercising yourself. When drawing try filling the page with a specific part of a subject. For example I like drawing head shoulder pictures of anime characters. When writing, try writing short scenarios like with fanfiction, or fictionpress.

    This is my downfall, among many but it feels great when I complete a project though. I usually have to be under pressure or have a time frame in which I have to have the project completed.

      Well I don't do it for work or anything it's just kinda a (big) hobby for me; and the projects I do finish while I feel proud for a while but when I come back to them later I feel as if they aren't any good at all...
