I've been writing the same story for four years without getting anywhere.
I love all my characters, I love my world, I love the backstory, but somehow no matter what plot I try to throw them into, it never seems to work out.
The idea behind it is something I really love, but when I carry it to its inevitable conclusion, it's not the story I want to write.
So when do you give up on a story? If after four years, I've never managed to write more than the first half without starting over should I give up and try writing something different?
At what point do you have to say, despite all the time and effort you've put into your work, do you have to say "this just isn't working"?
