So... I have a question. I've been having some motivation issues, as far as Stuck in a Rut. I love the story, and I have plans for it... but just haven't been motivated to write in it much.
So I propose to you that read it a choice.
1. I plug on, with chapters irregularly dropped on occasion.
2. I put it on the back burner and release infrequent chapters, while putting out a new story: "The Mysterious occurrence of Missy Hinde"
3. I put it on the back burner and release infrequent chapters, while putting out a new story:: "Right to Life: Brain donor."
Let me know what you think.

I'm happy to read whatever you put out
sorry, I guess that doesn't help much?
Where's my whip?
Seriously, we will get more out of you if you are self-motivated. The inventiveness of Stuck in a Rut makes it a gem in my estimation but it has gone on for a long time and I can understand your brain getting tired of it lying around on the couch and eating all the Pringles. But do what you need to do.
Though that Brain Donor story sounds intriguing. :)

to another:
#2 Is the most common way that we authors do things. (I would call it a strategy, but it seems to just happen that way.)
I have wasted too much time putting off one project because I feel that I ought to be doing something else.
So, write what you feel like writing when you feel like writing it. It's not like you have a boss that you need to keep happy.
