: Re: What happens when I get bored of a story I'm writing? I have several stories on hold because either I am not able to post them at the time, or they are incomplete and do not plan to finish
In my little experience, there are two ways to overcome that impasse.
The flow. You just write without thinking, just write whatever comes to mind, force yourself to fill the page, and the page after. This helps to unblock. Once you have put black on white, it's easier to go back and rewrite or edit. But setting the needle to "0% thinking / 100% writing" is a good way to go.
Wait and forget. You just let your subject rest and forget about it, work on other things or other projects. Then you go back to that original thought after some time (a couple of months maybe). You might find new ways to look at it. Sometimes things surprise me, and I find inspiration for a subject after many years that idea came to my mind.
