User blog comment:StupidSurname/Scrapped Creepypasta ideas, care to share?/@comment-4715955-20160320083853

It's rare when I actually scrap anything for good, because someday I might come back to it later and turn it into something else (or feed it to another, better story). Like I said in writer's lounge #5, my approach to writing is very Frankenstein-esque: if I threw out every idea that didn't work on its own, I'd rarely finish anything 'cos I'd never have any parts.

Some of the things I've written, I wrote years and years before as crappier pieces, and I just rebooted them until they didn't suck so much.
