"OKWriters: Idea vs Execution"


  

          

I've been writing a story for the past few weeks...well I haven't actually started writing it yet, I'm still nailing out all the concepts and boundaries of the world.

But in past stories I've written, I've noticed that the actual execution of the story didn't live up to the idea that I had which explains the 50 some odd unfinished stories I have lying around in a binder.

But I would say that my execution of ideas are lacking in comparison to the ideas. I plan to put a lot of time into this story because I really think I'm onto something here, but how do I improve my execution?
