| Oct 25, 2017 at 19:12 | comment | added | user16226 | I don't know about you particularly, of course, but I have met a lot of people who said they had many ideas for novels but could not get them written. It turned out that what they had were ideas of plots, or for plot devices, but that they did not actually have a story idea to go with those devices. (Actually, I have a couple of these myself.) I think a plot idea is something that could be written (though it needs a story to animate it) but that a story is something that has to be written (though it needs a plot to shape it). | |

I have the beginnings of six novels, four of them shelved so I have time to work on the ones I have a chance of finishing within the next year. I get ideas that could become novels frequently. And as noted in other comments, I can't "stay quit" -- I keep reading a book and thinking "I can write better than this". | |
