This latest chapter of Immortals is killing me. Iām 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 donāt 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, Iām not floundering because I canāt think of how to save them), but I just donāt feel like writing it. Itās not a case ofĀ āoh, Iāll write what I want and then come back to this part,ā itās a case ofĀ āI am no longer interested in writing this part even though I have ideas for it, I want to move on to the next stageā and Iām 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 itās going to be fairly obvious that the writing is forced.
The end result being, of course, that Iām not writing anything at all because Iām stuck on this one part. A part that was fun when I first came up with it but now just feels like work.
