All dreams die
This may come as a surprise to some (or all) of you but I have decided to shelve work on my book, at least for now. My reasons are many but chiefly I am stopping because I don’t feel like the idea of the book has developed into anything worth finishing. I have struggled with it for more than a year and just don’t feel like the structure is sound enough to carry an entire book. I may just make it into a long personal essay. Also, I have many other things in my life demanding my time right now and I think it will be more fruitful to focus my energies on them. I plan to revisit the manuscript later, possibly reworking it into another project and possibly strip-mining it for ideas for other projects. For those of you who have enjoyed reading this blog, this is actually good news since I will now have a surplus of writing energy to devote to new posts…

Now that you've decided not to struggle with it anymore, it will probably all come together in a flash one day. Writing's weird that way.

Sorry to hear it honey. But we will see you published one day, of that I am sure.

And I'm not sure all dreams must die; there are times, however, when they take a bit of a hiatus …
We'll just look all the more forward to your dreams return!

May I read what you have? I love the way you think and would love to see it on paper…sts.
