TV Writer? Screenwriter? Novelist?
I won’t mention writers of shorter pieces because that’s not what I’m going to focus on in this post.
The crux of the matter here is do you have a couple of half-finished novels on your hard drive? Screenplays maybe? You get going with lots of steam and a great idea that’s exciting and motivating, but somewhere along the line something happens. Maybe it feels like the original premise hits a dead end or the writer gets confused about where the original destination was or it just isn’t coming together the way it was hoped.
