Um, a couple years, but I keep it to myself. I have loads of ideas that I've been harboring for some years, though.

I've had that situation, having hundreds of concepts but abandoning them all. But I've had some I'm proud of.

For me, it's moreso revamping old ideas than scrapping them. I've had some really bad ones, but they're still salvageable.

if ideas are to work for me then they'll go in but if they don't I'll abandon it and never look back.

That's also a very viable standpoint. Whatever needs to be thrown out gets thrown out.

Have you ever wrote something, then looked back on it and wondered why you wrote it at times?

Oh yeah, totally. But I always keep my characters just for cameos.

Total opposite with me, I never keep my characters for cameos.
