How do you know when you should keep going with a story or just cut your losses and stop writing?
The project I've been trying to restart after a couple months of not working on it and only thinking about it occasionally is floundering. I've added about 10 pages to the first 15 pages I wrote but it feels like a long, slow journey ... through mud ... and rain ... uphill ... with my 3-year-old son clinging to my leg.
I'm just not feeling it.
Do I take another break from it? Do I take a break from writing altogether and read some good books instead? Or, do I keep dragging my feet through the muck and hope that it stops raining and assume that the clouds will part and the sun will shine through, eventually?
For now, I think the answer is to take a break from it for tonight. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow when I have more time and when I'm not too tired to think about it.
