Allow me to offer this as hj's proxy: Finish. It.
Oooooh, scary!
You can do it! Have you run out of steam on the plot or the people? A character? What's the thing that's turning you off?
All of the above. I like my second character better than my main character (I need both so can't condense them into one, although I might try it to see what happens....Hmmmm) *Wanders off.*
I'm going to pretend this is for me, to encourage me to type stuff up tonight. Axes wielded by trolls are scary.
Of course it was meant as encouragement. As is this: Have you typed that stuff up yet? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Here's a trick when you're stuck, well 2 actually.
First, reread your entire work from start to wherever you got stuck. You will see things you overlooked, missed, misplaced, or otherwise forgot about and you will start typing again, filling in, rounding out, and generally completing stuff.
Second, step away from the story for just a little bit. Give your subconcious time to work things out. Read a book on history, a book outside your normal genre, a classic western or detective work (Shane or any of the short "pulp" detective stories from the 30s always does it for me), take a walk, watch a sunrise or sunset, go golfing or fishing or running or do something that takes your mind away from the story. You'll come back to it with a lot more ideas and thoughts about where the story is going.
Exercise has been shown in the new science of the mind to actually generate new neural connections and refresh your mind and mental pathways.
Some great advice, FOTSGreg. I've tried your second option. I wrote a short story which actually got published! (Link in my sig line)
As for the 1st...you may have hit on part of the problem. My first two WIP's I wrote and edited at the same time, going back over and over different chapters, fleshing things out as I went. This time (and for the life of me I can't remember why I decided this) I figured I'd write the whole thing without going back and editing once.
It's driving me nuts!
Maybe it's time to resume my 'normal' way of writing?
Thanks for the advice, guys. I've a couple of avenues to explore and I feel a lot better than I did before I logged on.
