This latest chapter of Immortals is killing me. I’m pretty much done (mentally and emotionally) with Theron and Evraun playing Castaway on a deserted island and want to get on with finding/rescuing Vector and everything that comes after that. And I know that I can write the stuff that comes later and then come back to the stuff that comes beforehand, but … I don’t want to? I know people want to see more Theron/Evraun and how they get rescued or save themselves or whatever (I do actually know how they get away, I’m not floundering because I can’t think of how to save them), but I just don’t feel like writing it. It’s not a case of “oh, I’ll write what I want and then come back to this part,” it’s a case of “I am no longer interested in writing this part even though I have ideas for it, I want to move on to the next stage” and I’m worried that if I just jump ahead without filling in those blanks people will hate it. The motivation that was there when I first started the deserted island plot bunny has dissipated, and I know that if I do force myself to write it it’s going to be fairly obvious that the writing is forced.
The end result being, of course, that I’m not writing anything at all because I’m stuck on this one part. A part that was fun when I first came up with it but now just feels like work.
