Barging in

Greetings! I'm new here, and I have trouble writing. I bet you've never heard that one before! Getting ideas is no problem; they keep ambushing me where I least expect them. (No, brain, I don't need a wacky Princess Tutu/Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover adventure comedy about human sacrifice right now.) It's sitting myself down and concentrating on one project long enough to get it written.

Right now my main focus is--or would be, if I focused--a Western/Horror AU fic for Princess Tutu. Clearly this is the best idea in the history of thinking, and my story will be fantastic. I even know how it will end! I have a sequel half-planned! I just keep... not finishing the first chapter.

So I decided to join this community and complain a bit. I think I can do this if I stop waffling. Thank you for listening.

I would totally read that Princess Tutu/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover.

What's helping me at the moment is just building up a habit of writing for whatever story I'm working on every day, even if it's only one sentence. And, if you're really stuck, you can just not!fic/outline the rest of the first chapter and move on to the next bit and then come back to it when you're feeling in the mood to tackle the difficult part!

Also, hiii! :D

Hi! I'll probably end up writing that fic eventually, because the ideas are too stupid to leave me alone :D

Yeah, it can really help sometimes to accept that one sentence counts as progress; that way sitting down to write doesn't seem like a huge undertaking. And sometimes that one sentence leads to another! (Or to the realisation that nothing fits together and you have to start over, but that is also progress.) :D
