The problem with multiple ideas is that you overwhelm yourself with all the ideas running in your head. Just like homework, work projects, chores, and anything else you have to do multiple things of, you need to set them aside and do one at a time. Start with the one that has the most ideas, and start doing your research.

Some times, the story you want to write the most is the one you want to do last. Sounds counter intuitive but for those of us who are new to writing or are not sure of ourselves, it would be better to start with a warm-up. Allow your writing voice and skills to develop so that when you get to the book you want to put all your efforts into, you have the experience and practice to make sure you put your best into it.

Break them down in chunks. The hardest thing is to remember that you cant write all 3 books. Sit down, take a deep breath, and do it in segments. If you need to put yourself on a schedule then go ahead and do that. Say that this week you will research and write 4 character bios, and the next week you will research and create part of your world and so on and so fourth. Make sure the goals are small and obtainable.

As far as sites that you can join, I am not familiar with writing groups or communities but I know some people recommend some out there. Try googling for it and facebook probably also has a writing group. I know reddit has a writing prompt section as well.

Good luck to you and remember to slow down and take it each section and each story at a time. As the saying goes... Rome was not built in a day.
