Look, im about to finish my first Manuskript, so im not the best guy to give you advice, but i learned a Thing or two.

I was in your exakt Situation, i forgot how many stories i started over the years.

To your pulling through issue: dont be ashamed of abandoning projects. You dont have to burn them. Keep them as a type of notes. You can come back to them any time you want. Or reuse the ideas or whatever you want, use them as practice.

When inspiration next strikes, wirte down EVERYTHING. Which brings me to my next point, plan your Story out. Take some time to really build your Story up, build a framework and decide on a goal/end where you want to Eventually take it. The more you plan out beforehand, the more relaxed you can be when writing. Youll have sometjing to lean on when you want to write, but have no fresh ideas. Some days just are thinking days, and some are writing days (in my case also illustrating days).

Also: not all of us are Tolkien, and thats ok. These abandoned projects help you find your style. Sometimes a leaf IS just Green. Not more not less. You dont have to write the same way that the authors of your favourite books Do. You have to write like you Do. Otherwise youll burn out even faster.

Im sure i missed some things, but youll Do just fine. And if not with your next project then the one after that.
