I asked a bunch of people a bunch of questions.
A few things stick out in my mind:
50+ sheep
lifeguard
beloved friend
a gecko named Fred
Victoria
Goodnight.

- Trying to wrap up everyrhing.
- Trying to find the right high note.
- Saying goodbye to old friendsā¦every ending is that dumb Niceklback song.
- Not enough personal energy for the whole story.
- Unfortunately peaking in your thoughts about the story, and not when writing it.
- Imposter atndrome disguised as āyou cant finish thisā.
- The story is not going where your heart is leadong you and you need to back upba chaoter and not force it.
- Youre finding things out that you need to retrofit in older chapters and youre wanting to go 1st wdit instwad of null finish.
- You starved your creativity. Go read something.
- Youre taki g long enough that you need a refresher xourse on the previous material.
Pick your poison.

@JohnnyTuturro: How can I even write a short story when I think of complex ideas that require stretching out?
I did write and finish one short story, but that was a story that wasnāt all that interesting. I wrote it just to get it off my mind.
I rather not do a story like thatā¦I guess.
Does that even make sense?

No.
Like if I wanted to even consider writing something small, how can I do it when my mind expands in a wonky way?
People tell me CONSTANTLY to write short stories and stop trying to dive head first into a novel.
Maybe I am different, but I donāt LIKE that because I rather make things hella difficult for myself.
Even when I do write a short story, which isnāt often, it is purely out of luck.
I am not a short story writer. I am a glutton-for-punishment writer.

Do you mean Renfield from Dracula? If so, then yup, he seems obsessed with hamburgers the same way Renfield is obsessed with insects. ā(ĖāæĖc)

I want to create an entire fictional world with the works WITHOUT a story tied to it.
Feeling like a creator deity right now.
EDIT: I could create a story for it, but not right now.

Thereās a video game from the '90s (Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned) that has two puzzles that received distinctly different feedback; one puzzle was widely panned, while the other one was considered a masterpiece.

The Metallica song āMaster of Puppetsā is about drug addiction, but some of the lyrics could also be about what itās like to be in a cult.

Itās the final day of moving. Last night was the last time I will ever sleep in this house. I donāt feel as melancholic as Iād prepared for. I moved around a lot as a kid, left stuff behind before, dashed out the door with a box full of stuff and barely anything to call my own, so perhaps I am more desensitized to the loss of object materials and places. This place holds nothing more for me to experience, and at the end of the day, I am glad to be rid of it. Like a snake shedding its skin.
