Hello!
So I have been working on a WIP for quite some time now. The idea I had in the back of my head since 2012 and started writing it seriously since 2013. Since then, I had written what I labeled as "crappy draft" which though was never finished, was about 50,000 words in. It was okay for the rough draft/idea draft. I feel like it has changed DRASTICALLY since then. Which is partly a good thing. I learned the nuts and bolts of writing a novel along the way, however, I feel that perhaps my enthusiasm within the writing has waned. While I love this story, and I want to continue, I'm starting to think is it really worth it to keep going? This always happens to me, and it's really frustrating. I really don't know what to do about it. Throw away all that work? Start something fresh? When is it too forced? Help?
