Stalled out. Hated the lack of direction my story suffered. Felt like I'd told the story before.
So I stopped telling it. I'm starting fresh today. I'm keeping the prose I wrote previously; I'm recycling the characters and aging them a bit, putting them in a different setting with different rules. With some tweaking I may be able to use some of it and starting at 0 on day 10 is a horrifying proposition.
I feel much better about this new direction and I think the story (and I) will benefit.
