Do you think part of the problem is that you have too many stories going on at once?  Cause I kinda wonder if that is part of my problem.  I spent SO long on By My Side, and the whole time, I was thinking about what my next project would be.  I started a couple of things while I was writing BMS, thinking that once it was over I would launch right into those, and at the same time, I was getting other ideas.  So now BMS is done, and I have one novel that I've started on, another that's in my head, a novella/short story I've started on, the Broken original novel, Footprints, plus Not Another Teenybopper Story, Code Blue, 00Carter, etc.  It's like all of a sudden I went from only having that ONE main story I was working on to having like eight different projects to think about.  And how could you possibly get into eight stories at once?  I'm not an octopus LOL.

So I think what I've decided for now is to keep working on the Broken novel, with Footprints as my back-up project.  00Carter, of course, I will write when it's my turn, and Code Blue I will get to at some point.  The others, unless I get a sudden burst of inspiration, can wait.  I figure maybe if I get the Broken stuff out of my system, there will be nothing else I can do with that series, and then maybe my muse will let me move on to something brand new.

Sorry, I'm not trying to make this about me - my point is, maybe it would help you to narrow things down to one or two stories that you want to concentrate on now.  Your main story and your back-up, is how I like to think of it.  Figure out which story you're most into and make that you main one, then just focus on writing that story.  Let the other projects go on hiatus, and come back to them later.  That's my advice, but then, I'm not really a multi-tasker when it comes to fanfic; I would prefer to just have that one story to think about.  Some people thrive on having lots of options.  So it's just a thought. :)

lol, no I love hearing about YOU julie! And I know what you mean. I think I have that same problem. I really do kind of need a story for all my moods, but I've always had the "one" that is the front runner, but ever since I finished Movie, nothing has really jumped out at me. It's like I can't decide which one I'm the most "in to". I love them all and yet none of them at the same time...

*sigh, will take a break until my brain just can't take it anymore*
