Since I keep writing a few pages here and there for my most recent project and then giving up to read or work on something else, I keep wondering if I should put it off indefinitely and focus on other story ideas that keep springing to mind.
Part of me thinks that's a wise strategy until that story rings true again. It seems like it shouldn't be such a struggle to string sentences together. The other part of me feels guilty for even thinking about giving up. Sometimes that part of me feels small when I have other story ideas springing to mind.
Maybe as a writing exercise I'll try to work on a different story or pursue one of my new ideas, just to get the creative juices flowing. Otherwise, the story that I keep picking up and putting back down feels like tiny spurts of juice rather than a steady flow.
I know it can't feel like a smooth float down a lazy river all the time, but it would be nice to make my way down a raging river with lots of obstacles in the way instead of sitting in the middle of a dry creek bed like I am now.
