Hey! Anybody here remember me?
I've hit something of a serious block in my fan fic 'No secret at all'. It's at least partly due to a lot of stuff going on in real life, but partly also just simple motivation/idea shortage. I know where I want the story to go but for some reason it just doesn't come out right when I try to write it down.
Despite creative difficulties with 'No Secret' I have been having some glimmers of an idea for a different story; this one being an alternative reality setting, putting our four favorite musicians and their acquaintances in medieval Ireland. I know I've already written one story of this sort (On the rising tide) but I think this idea is still different enough from that to be fresh and entertaining.
I'm not much on walking away in the middle of a story though; and I don't want to throw together an ending for a story for which I had so many things planned out that would fall by the wayside.
- Here's the question:
Would you as readers prefer me to press on and keep giving 'No secret' the old college try and see if I can make it work, or should I walk away from it for now and write something totally different, hoping that perhaps I can come back later and finish 'No Secret' as well?
1. Keep working on "No Secret"?
2. Move on to "Bards and Highwaymen"? (tentative title - may change
)

Hi SG. Well, I can only say as I find with myself and that is if I come up against a brick wall in one of my fanfics *DrawersCoughDrawers* then I write something else for a while. I found doing Christine alongside the Diaries was quite good cos if I couldn't think of anything for one then I could turn to the other. (and we all like a bit of the other don't we...
). Anyway, that's me. 
). You have so much talent anyway. It will come back to you. If writing something else makes it come easier, why not?
