I just want to make sure everyone knows, English is not my native language, so if there are any spelling errors or similar, that's the reason.

I'm a 20 year old student who writes novels during my free time, but I never end them. The problem is that I have an idea that I think sounds good so I start writing, then I get about 50 pages into the project a new idea. I then write down that idea so I do not forget it. The problem is that I usually just finish writing on the first text and bypassing the new idea, but when I'm about 50 pages I get another idea and so the cycle continues.

Any thoughts on what I should do? or does anyone have any ideas or simulated experiences that have some tips?
