I have a fairly busy schedule (work, school, girlfriend), so I have little time to write. Some weekends I have plenty of time(when GF isn't hassling me like a cat that needs attention, not that I mind though). Now I've always got plenty of stories on the back burner(some partially written, some still swimming in the back of my head for years), but I've lately been putting all my focus on finishing one story.
My problem is, aside from the occasional writers block, when I focus on story for too long, my extremely A.D.D. mind starts naturally drifting to one of my other stories(when it's not drifting to the random stupid crap that occasionally runs through my weird imagination). The more I try to focus on the story I want to finish, then the more my mind starts drifting to that other story.
Now I don't WANT to start working on that other story yet(...again), I've got another story that I'm trying to stay committed to right now, but that other story keeps tempting me. I feel like if I give in to this temptation then I fear risking never getting anywhere with either story, but it only gets harder and harder to say no. What do I do? Am I doomed?
