Who else has a habit of starting another project before finishing your others?

Here's what I have:
2 Cave Story mods, 1 Rpg Maker 2 Game, 2 Rpg Maker 3 Games, and A Super Metroid mod I sort of abandoned. (It was never really started, just a bunch of ideas)
Do you have a habit of starting more when you aren't finished with your others?
How many projects do you have?
I really don't have time for all of the projects I have. :(

Maybe a better question is: Who is more organized and has few projects?
I organize files and have zero projects
Does that count?

That sort of counts. My files are a bit all over the place on my computer and
I seem to lose them alot.
Let me get this right: You aren't working on any mods, big artwork projects, or any sort of hacking projects at all?

I'm the worst at this.
What I'm currently working on:
- Main Project: Carnage Clash
- Side Distraction: Enthology: Lost Chapters
- Secret Project in Collaboration with Blink

The Mods I've worked on that won't be released in their intended form:
- Dimensional Eradicating Accumulative of Triarchy Heroes (D.E.A.T.H.) [Reworked into Enthology]
- Operation Giant_Curly_Final_Boss [Reworked-ish into Carnage Clash]
- Thine Finale [Was kind of put into Cavern Tale already]
- Quote's Revelation [What was done is reworked into Enthology, the rest of the ideas are sadly gone forever probably]
- Evac Yrots [Barely Started, ended up doing Cave(NoStory) instead.]
- MALOC Special [Reworked into Carnage Clash]
- DoR2 edit: Fractured Hope [Reworked-ish into Carnage Clash, see this for Blink's playthrough]
- Project "MPVW" [A Collaboration with Blink, we never made past the first hub town, BLink put a lot of work into it though.]
- Humanities story [Don't ask, you won't get answers.]
- Probably a few others I don't remember.

I have tons of made up stories in my head. The thing is, I've never sat down and written a single one of them. The only stories I've written in sort-of recent memory are only a few pages long, and they aren't really that good anyways since I was in like 4th or 5th grade when I wrote them. One was about some chick who was getting married, and from my recollection she had to go through the woods (on foot, which made no sense) to get to her wedding. She ended up meeting face to face with Slender man, and long story short they ended up banging and having a half human kid or something with no face.

Yeah, that's definitely not something I'm proud of. Anyways what happens is I'll be obsessed with one of my stories and I'll work on building it up until I suddenly get an idea for a different one and start obsessing over that. Also, I'll be making even more stories in the meantime and I end up completely forgetting about the older ones I was working on before.

Wow... That's kinda like me. I get ideas all the time. I actually have ideas for a million games in my head. Some stupid, Some amazing. That's why I want to become a video game maker. Like working for nintendo or something.

You just summed up my life. It's sad indeed. I had an idea for CS mod, an FPS trilogy, open world 2d plstformer. The list can just go one, and on, and on…… I still dream that I can became game maker and make those stories too. So far I just made 2 level with a level editor and that's it. As shadowcat said I'm not proud and hate myself for that. I am trying to make myself learn flash to make something but I'm just trying for now. T_T

Woah woah it's alright, take your time. Game development is hard shit and if you're planning on doing every component for your game then I commend you, but it will be difficult. Instead of hating yourself for not being as good as you want to be, just take it slow and work to improve at a pace that's right for you.

A Sonic 1 dissembly
1 or 2 Cave Story concepts that never even saw Boosters Lab. [Random Cave generator, and A prequel about Jenka and Ballos]

I think people have a poor habit of underestimating the actual amount of work it takes to make a game, and/or specific parts of games.

Do I smell a possible Dark Souls reference?
Then again, I'm not going to get an answer, so I guess it's just speculation for now.
