(Consider JRR Tolkien's long-term WIP The Silmarillion, which was finished and published by his son after Tolkien Senior's death.) You can always come back to that novel-in-embryo or repurpose it in some way.

Nah, the Washington crew are the worst kind of vampires, not werewolves at all.Sacchi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801164916418570059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12680485761954301572018-07-03T20:41:31.775-04:002018-07-03T20:41:31.775-04:00I've got two books that used to be published, ...I've got two books that used to be published, that I got the rights back to, and I don't know what to do with them! Few publishers want to take on re-published stuff. Smashwords requires that you have Paypal, and I tried that twice, getting aggravated and angry both times, and unable to even understand the English of the person on the 800 help line. So unless I'm willing to wait until my royalties hit $75.00, I'd never see a check at all. <br /><br />And I fear I'm too technologically inept to self-publish. Plus the summer is rolling along, and soon I'll be back working 2 jobs, and won't have any time to spare again. Sigh...<br /><br />Do what I did with your writer's block. Wait until one of the characters visits you in a dream, and tells you how to proceed. It's worked for me a few times. Maybe they'll help you along...when your mind isn't too preoccupied with other characters' voices.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-53587514624817162782018-07-03T08:07:38.975-04:002018-07-03T08:07:38.975-04:00Thanks for the encouragement, Annabeth.
Actually,...Thanks for the encouragement, Annabeth.<br /><br />Actually, I've been feeling really energized by my writing over the past six months. This is largely due to having moved almost entirely to self-publishing. It's remarkably freeing to write and publish what I like.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-92040004746136436822018-07-02T18:47:37.302-04:002018-07-02T18:47:37.302-04:00Wow I don't think you should be embarrassed at...Wow I don't think you should be embarrassed at all. You've been rocking it by getting out a book a month, repurposed or not, and I think you're onto something with Vegas Babes. I say come back to The Werewolf and the Vampire if and only if the spirit moves you, and in the meantime, enjoy what's working!
