Writing Ideas rather than stories (lemmy.world)

Like the title says

Is there any merit to writing seeds of a plot rather than a whole plot? Usually I have another commission stories on my ideas, but the amount of an actual story I have written for the past 5 years I can count with one hand.

Not to mention the lack of feedback of just my story ideas is....depressing. Like I'm invisible.

Thoughts? Or am I just being a wuss?

I think so?

I write out short stories sometimes with maybe only a particular scene or event.

Sometimes its good to get it written down so it doesn't get swept away. There's also a chance it may turn into a bigger story, which has happened to me a few times now.
