I’ve Been There
I’ve had projects that seemed to take forever. I’ve had projects that got me bogged down to a standing stop.
I was looking through my old files last weekend and came across my very first novel. Which I restarted several times, changing the title, changing the characters, changing the plot, changing a lot of things.
That novel never got published. I think someday I’ll come back to it and publish it, but it’s not burning a hole in my brain just now, so I’m working on a project that is.
