Howdy, you beautiful, beautiful people? I am back with another stupid question I can't seem to solve on my own.
So I have been writing a lot—original plots, sparkling ideas, awesome characters... it's all there, but they keep running beyond what I intend to. Let me try and explain my conundrum... So i thought of a short smut story and wrote a scene where a woman gets horny in the car and gives in to urges to masturbate in busy traffic... this could go as a story on its own, but I wanted more... now the possibilities are wild from here... any workman on the road... lover in the office... stranger in the mall... a family member at home...
The problem is I ended up cramming it all... it's not only about characters... ideas from stories I have read... some stupid meme popping on screen... sex scenes from porn... I get this urge to put it in the current story... then I end up adjusting everything I have written... by the time I complete this... there are ten more new ideas swarming in my head...
Call me stupid if you want... but I have 31 partially written pieces... 400K+ carefully written words... yet nothing that can go for publishing...
My blockers... I can't write something just for sex... two people meet and fuck... boring... I will watch porn instead... They need to have personality... some context... a bit of realism... and then oh-so-satisfying sex....
my problem is not building blocks... it's putting them together...
Let me try the other way; my expected story length is 16k+, but by the time I manage 8k, my writing is shooting for an epic novel scope... too wide to be comfortably restrained in any single Lit submission category...
Now that I have confused you a bit, back to the title of this post, How to put a bloody leash on my muse and make it run in a closed circuit...
and Finally, I am too stupid for general guidance and self help available on internet. What I would love to know is your personal experience.
