Hey all who happen to read this!
to give a quick recap of my situation, i have only very recently tried to get back into writing after a long loooong time of not doing it at all.
anyway, what i was hoping someone could help with is this:
since getting back into writing i have been predominately writing a lot of out of context ideas or extracts, focusing on building specific scenarios or describing certain kind of places/characters events without having to spend too much time building a world up for them, purely just to get back into how i write and just practicing my writing techniques in general.
The issue i now find myself with is that i have quite a lot of these excepts now (around 10,00 words spread over about 20 or so extracts of massively varying lengths) and i have found i'm having trouble trying to build a full story out of them, they world they are all set in could easily be shared between them all, but the extracts themselves just aren't similar enough to use as part of a single story as initially i never wrote them as such.
have a made things much harder for myself with what i have done? should i put these all to one side and try to start from scratch on something new, or is there anything anyone could recommended on how to focus things down.
i appreciate any information anyone could pass on.
