Guilt.
Writing is a difficult thing to control. If you're a writer, I'm guessing you've had this experience. You get an idea and run with it, only to find yourself smashing your nose into a brick wall. Sometimes, projects go smoothly until completion and follow a schedule, but it's rare. VERY RARE. Sometimes being a writer makes you feel flaky-- like you can't finish anything. I'm curious if I'm alone in this feeling.

not alone at all. i just tossed the 90 pages of my first novel i had written on to the back burner in favor of diving into some more traditional fiction. it's actually freeing though, to move away from a project that had me banging my face against a wall and on to something that is flowing freely and easily. i love it.

Thank you! Good to hear my frustrations are not unfounded. Wow- that's a big thing to throw away a chunk of creation like that. i've done it several times! But you are right...There is something freeing about the clean slate and the new project that is--the thrill of writing.
