Does writing novel longer make us lose our ideas and exhausted?

Writing a longer novel is only a bad idea when the story doesn't need it and it's being done of some sort of self-imposed obligation. If anything, writing a single long novel makes it infinitely harder to run out of ideas, because you'll always be working in the same general framework and setting. It's a great idea to branch out solely so you can experiment with story ideas that wouldn't fit in with your main novel(s).

Any task takes its toll over a period of time, don't be afraid to call for a break now and then. Burnout and writers block are the most common reasons for writers to pause their work :blob_evil_two: it happens.

Getting started on a new story and taking a break is easy.

It's getting back from your break and finishing the story that's the hard part.

Hey sis, I am also prepared my mind until I made a big mistake in ending with the trial schedulement. But I also made some backup with my small project. If nobody likes it, it's okay as those are my baits to give me more time of thinking and writing(Maybe)
No, when planning, you definitely have to write your plan, or at least have a written outline for the story exactly for same reason you made this thread.

Keeping it in mind/thoughts would only make us forget, and lose interest because we think of and are constantly exposed to events, places and people that cause to give new ideas.

So try writing down your story plans.

Also, I'm a bro.
