I'm not sure if you would've guessed, but I've been an aspiring writer since what, eight years old? Since then, I've written a lot of stories (usually 30-50 pages). The only problem I have is that I normally don't finish them...as in I get bored after a while and come up with another idea. This happens with almost every story because as an avid reader, I normally question how my writing compares to other authors'. When I do this, I sometimes quit writing the stories altogether. I know I shouldn't do this, but I can't help it for some reason. And I keep reading because, well, I like to, and I usually adopt another author's writing style as a way to practice my own writing.
I'm making this thread because I know there are a lot of talented writers on this site, and I'm sure at least some of you experienced this, right? If not, advice on how I should overcome this problem is welcomed. I want to be an author when I get older, and I can't let this mar my chance of actually getting published. I want to actually finish something for once.
