I used to write a lot too, I had wanted to become a free lance writer but I would always lose interest in my stories, lose track, create a whole NEW story and abandon my previous one... etc
In the end I thought I had commitment issues, but I read a lot of writers come up with TONS of stories and never follow them through to the end.
You just have to wait until you come up with that "gem" of a story you just can't get enough of. OR... go back to some of your past stories and re-read them, add a few sentences and leave and come back to it in a wk.
You can burn out your interest in a story if you spend TOO much time writing it. If you write several pages in one sitting, that's too much. Take your time and ask ppl to read your work and listen to their predictions of what they think will happen next. This should provide you with some plot/character twists that you can use later and establish what mood you want in the story.
Revisiting old stories is fun and may help you come up with new material oddly enough.
Is it normal that I get bored/don`t find a reason for writing?
