another day
another hours of not writing damn book
That will be 11 years now and its not looking good. Or rather its a total clusterfuck of expanding the little ideas that evolve infinitely with no end in sight.

Okay, so take it from somebody who meticulously plans shit in stories they like to write too. This cropped up way too often until I just decided to make a skeleton of ideas, and then write the first few chapters/sections, or some of the more integral parts of the story in one go. I then told myself that I would not modify those chapters beyond grammar unless it is a plothole EMERGENCY that completely shreds the storyline by existing prior. Once you have an unshakable foundation, it's far easier to fill in the gaps without spiraling off into tangents of infinite possibility.

Yea that was an ininial idea. Create a backbone and go from there buuuut it got a little to extensive. I barely write stories and focus on worldbuilding.
Might as well write something in normal setting instead. At least the world history, laws of universe and stuff is already there.

Although i did start writing a story in hole without any restrictions...

You could try writing a few simple stories instead. Some that have beginnings and ends.

Okay, there's another diff method here if you're stuck on the skeleton.
Either you go whole ham on the world building, AND ONLY the worldbuilding, and finish up lore and background in one fell swoop. If you relapse into asking "how will this fit into the story?", slap yourself and instead ask "why does something established in the past have to fit a present story, and not the other way around?". Whatever events conjured the world you make into being likely did not know or care about the aspect of the story you will write with fleshed out characters, only what made the world that the characters find themselves in.
Second idea, is to completely disregard the skeleton for a second, and focus on fleshing out character tropes and personality. If you square this off it makes gauging how the world will affect your characters and vice versa easier to write.
