What to write?

     For at least 10 years of my life I have been intending to write a novel. At this point in my life, I have over 20 ideas, some made into prologues or chapters but I have not been able to complete any. It makes me wonder if I am doing something wrong. I know I can write, that's not the issue. The issue is that my mind wanders so much that as soon as I think of where I want my stories to go, my imagination transitions into the next thing I want to write. I do not have focus and that is where my struggle lies. What can I do in order to keep my mind settled enough to put onto a page the words that fill my head?

    Here is where my journey begins. It is the middle of the year, June 27th, 2021. I plan on sharing my process into finally finishing one of my stories. Which it will be, I do not know? 

    First, I will brainstorm for all the stories I have and make myself a sort of "treatment" (a treatment is normal used for scripts and will explore the details of it prior to actually writing the script, in my case this will be for a book) for each of the stories I feel more drawn towards, at least 5. 

    Second, I will choose my top 3 and will create the first chapter(s). When the chapters are completed I will post them to various sites and see the reactions/input I receive from other people.

    Finally, the story with the most positive response is the one that I will fully put myself into. I will work to my fullest for the remainder of this year to complete this story. 

    This will serve as a contract to myself and I will post my progress on here as well. At least once a week I will update where I am at with my stories and when it comes time to uploading chapters, I will be posting them on here as well.

    Here we go.
