Epic length

No, sadly not my Camp NaNoWriMo Project which is far behind. Too far probably.
I now see my biggest problem so clear, like always and then I activate ignore-mode again...
Everything I start develops an epic length (in theory) and so I never manage to actually FINISH a first draft.
I mean come on, I worked on my last project for over a year, on this project 8 months... and the end is not near. Not even much closer.
I think I do something wrong.
