It's tough. I have an old draft for a story where people are building a mega-structure around the sun to harvest energy. Then I happened upon the concept "Dyson sphere" and binned it.

When I was little I thought of a theory timeline splitting at each action and there being multiple timelines each containing what would have happened if it went that specific way. Then I saw many worlds interpretation.

Why would you bin it??? Just because it’s scientifically possible, it doesn’t make it any less cool.

Well, I was kinda happy with my new invention, and then when I realized it was hypothesized already in the 60s/70s (or whenever), I kinda lost that spark to keep writing it. I might have also lost it when my old computer crashed...
The story involved a space race between the usual state actors, a female engineer surviving malicious sabotage on the Mars-sol plasma relay station, and one unknown outside force...

Well.. you should write it. Single ideas won’t be the success of the novel, it is how you present it and how good is your writing.
