Out of interest
I was wondering if anybody here has seriously set out to write.

My degree consisting in large part of creative writing and I started three books in different genres as part of my various end of year assessments and dissertation and so on. They're sitting on a drive somewhere but I doubt I'll ever finish them. Don't really want to, to be honest.

How long ago did you finish?
Often they need a really long rest before you can tackle them again - I'm redrafting a novella I wrote four years ago. It's the first time I've been able to look at it.

I finished in '02
I don't really have the interest anymore.

Then just leave them and move on
either write something else....or don't.
Unless you have a large man with a big gun standing next to you saying that if you don't write you'll be bummed.

Making music is the same.
Bit of distance is vital to gain any objectivity at all, from my experience.

I think that all creative activities - making music or art, writing fiction - they share a good deal of common ground
and demand similar things.
