Not Canceled, Just On Pause

The novel's turned into a chore. I can't bear to work on it because of the sense of frustration and boredom.

So I've decided that I'll stop for a bit, leave it alone, and work on something else. I have a few short story ideas; I'll mold them for a time and see which ones look best.

Once I've had some time for the novel to reset, I'll read what I have and start work on it again.
