There are weird ideas and grand ideas and funny ideas, and some that have a bit of each quality. You can get them and find the results just don't add up. Or worse, there might be no results at all. Getting ideas is the relatively easy part. Then you have to see them through.
I recently had an idea and was able to work it into...something at least. It wasn't as drawn out and painful as the process can be. So hopefully I've done something right, hit upon a process that might be productive in the future. The experiment is ongoing.

Does your title reflect the actual number of ideas you've attempted to describe in a story or is it arbitrary? I did that with some blog posts where I featured the works of artists I admired titling them 'other people's work #so and so'. They were in no sort of order at all but it amused me to attach a figure that would indicate a series.
The thing I've learned about sharing ideas before their completion as real projects was that either they weren't worth following up on or the very fact of having shown the initial drawing was enough to make me give up the idea entirely.
I hope you have found something you can follow through to its conclusion and that I'll be able to read it once its done. Beyond that, of course, I wish you success in accomplishing your vision.
ps: In case my remark about your title being numerical was confusing it wasn't until after I'd written that I noticed it was actually a lightbulb (!) on the main page and only numerical here. I wonder if you see that too.
A way to look on the bright side is that maybe the drawings you shared and then gave up on were simply steps you needed to get to another idea. But then I can certainly understand and respect the instinct to keep things under wraps until they're ready.
I got a decent draft put together anyway. Like I said it's a different way of working. More natural to me, a better fit with the way I think, or have been thinking.
Yeah, I was trying to think of a header for this post and thought a picture of a light bulb might be fun. So I looked up the unicode setting for a light bulb, and it did created the right effect, but the URL doesn't show that, alas.
