: Re: I want to start writing again: original project or new one? To make a long story short, writing used to be a huge part of my life. I found a project that I loved and was dedicated to making

As someone who loves starting projects, and struggles with finishing them, I recommend you stick with your novel-in-progress unless there is a really good reason to abandon it. The reason is that you can't publish something you don't finish, but you can start any number of books without ever finishing one. So if you ever want to see a book project through to the end, you'll need at some point to commit to finishing one, no matter what happens in between. It might as well be this one as any other.

Sometimes there are books --like the massive, unfinished tome in Wonderboys --that are better off abandoned. But it doesn't sound like there's anything that solidly places this book in that category.
