/lit/ - Literature

I am tilted. I keep getting new ideas for stories.
I had finally resolved to write one single, specific story. I prepared enormous docs full of notes about it. Then just today, randomly, I got another story idea - something shifted emotionally, and now I want to write this too. I want to write both. I know I can only do one, but I want to do both. And if I were to do both, I am sure I would want to write a third one simultaneously, too.
This sucks.

Was German Idealism the last line of defense against nihilism?

I have basically finished the barebones outline for an entire web serial. I have been getting a lot of work lately, and I have been feeling quite confident, but now that the outline is nearly finished, I have been feeling doubtful. I am worried that there's just too much content, and that it's not the right kind, and that the balance could be better. I am great at character relations, banter, story arcs etc - but is that enough to make my story good? I don't want my story to be bad. I don't want it to be boring. I don't want readers to view it as just a string of events and social scenes. I want the whole story to be captivating, from start to finish - not just each event or each line of dialogue, but everything, the whole thing, considered as a single unit.
I am afraid that I won't be able to do that. I am afraid that I may be incapable of doing that. I want to write something good, and I want to succeed.

I haven't written in a very long time but I am going to write today, even though I don't want to. I have decided to make a career out of writing because I am never going to get a real job - let it be known!
I am currently browsing /lit/ as a last gasp of my procrastination but after that, to my great chagrin, I am going to get to work

I don't want to be "skilled" or even a genius. I need to be a god. Too many people write garbage and don't even realise how fucking bad it truly is. I have seen that so many times that now I am terrified of falling into the same trap and writing garbage without realising it. "Skill" is not good enough - many bad writers are skillful. I NEED to be a writing god!

Help me, /lit/! What do I do in order to transcend? How do I put myself so far and beyond other writers as to become unreachable? How do I achieve utter and absolute perfection with style, narrative, characterisation and meaning? How do I make my writing whisper of the entirely new, divine plane of existence on which it belongs, regardless whether I am writing something existential or just fantasy consumer trash?

I can actually understand all of this, but then again I have a degree in the humanities so I was neck deep in this shit for years. The phrasing has obviously been picked to be verbose rather than concise, though, so I can see why many people would feel annoyed.

If it makes you feel any better, you would have never had a chance to do anything to steer your civilisation to a better fate, regardless of the era.
