I guess a really good thing to do would be this:
Write out a plan of your story before you start, including things such as, major characters, general storyline, major changes, beginning, ending, and also some kind of side story ideas.
My main problem is that I usually start off with no idea what my story is going to end like. If I had a plan, I could refer to that, and I would know what I wanted to do, rather than losing interest, and forgetting all about it.
I do wonder how professional writers do it. I really would like to read a bit more, but I don't think I manage my time very well a lot of the time.

Anyway, its great to have our little discussion!
