Most have been there writing-wise. You're writing a story, you think it has legs and merit and then you realize that it's absolutely going nowhere. So, you shelve it, telling yourself (or more honestly lying to yourself) that some day you'll go back to it with the hope of reviving it. Past few days I've been doing just that. Nothing too big, kind of small and stripped down. Just sent it off this morning and hoping for the best. One more little raft in a big sea of maybes and no thank yous. Whatever. It's what you do. It's what you have to do.
