Board Thread:Writer's Workshop/@comment-33803324-20190201125749

I'm not sure if this would be the proper place to post an issue like this, and even after reading the forum rules it is still unclear - so overall, I apologize to the mods/admins if it isn't.

However, onto my problem. I have been creatively writing on and off for many years, going to school and taking classes for both English and writing, and working on small writing-based side projects (aside from my in-the-works stories for this site) for a long while. I have dozens of ideas floating about in my head, written on paper, etc. - most of which I have at least started, however, whenever I actually sit down to write I quickly lose interest. I read the stories in the WW, as well as finished tales on the site, published novels, and even E-Books/creepypasta narrations; any time I do, I get this sudden urge to bust out a quick story (or at least work on one of my larger projects). I will write a paragraph or two, then suddenly and unexplainably become bored or disinterested - or on worse occasions completely hate whatever I'm writing and start over.

I'm not sure if this is just a bad case of writer's block or what, but I need your suggestions. How do you skirt around "The Dreaded Block?" What do you do to help you focus on your writing and crack out a good story? I'm not asking for ideas on what to write for a story - I have plenty of those - I just need to know how to buck up and get it done.

Thanks in advance, guys. Also, if need be, I can post the opening paragraphs of my most recent story for review (which is as far as I've gotten), that way you folks can tell me how it's going so far.
