: 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

To answer your question "Do I just leave it rotting in my google docs folder for a month or two, or do I look for inspiration and continue writing?":

I would walk away from it for a while, do something else (other than writing) and let your unconscious work on it (so to speak). I have found that, with time, I either find myself back at my desk continuing the story or I just move on to another project. There is no "time period" (a month or two) that I can suggest.

My experience has been that "forcing" it will tend to hinder your creativity.

One other suggestion: I often start reading (as opposed to writing) during these periods and will often get a "spark" from something I've read.
