Also i wanted to say, i feel the same way about the draft i'm in right now. Or at least, sometimes i am all gung-ho about it and other times i'm like FUCK THIS IS TOO HARD I CAN'T FIGHT THE HYDRA.
Because yeah, i think about how much work i put into the DP (and how much work i DIDN'T put into the four other abandoned/partial novels i have in the proverbial drawer), and it is discouraging, because who has the time for that? But i know the ocean's just drops of water, and that it's hard to be a drop and conceive the ocean and all that "we're star-stuff!" shit, and novels are just the same.
So you know, keep plugging, and solidarity from over here.
