I enjoy getting Comments on my Work
2023 was way too long.
My goal this year is to find a new job. Try and write more than one new chapter of Feather Steel and to hopefully publish this new story of mine which popped into my head and won't leave. Already written 20,000 words. 
As for my other unfinished works, we'll see. 
So, yeah, finally a new chapter is here.
What can I say other than time goes by fast and you never realize how much you lose until it's lost. Five years 
Why is it so difficult to do this sometimes? I feel like it's much, much easier to come up with a new story and write it out. But Celestia help you if you stop and want to continue later.
I'm Back from TrotCon which was fun, though I feel they planned poorly for how large the venue was vs how many people were there (last time it was in a smaller hotel and felt cozy).

I know, right? I found one story I hadn’t looked at in years and I was reading through it like ‘this is great, why did I stop?’ and it’s because I hit a wall and guess what--that wall was still there

I think it might have something to do with the difficulty of remembering all the rules you set up and just going. It's less fun than making up new rules for a new story and far less fun than the excitement of starting a new story.
What I've done to get through this block is to focus on an upcoming scene I want to write. I get down at least the first draft of that.
At that point, writing out of the connecting scenes to get there is not as daunting a project as it first felt.

Not a bad idea... hmm
I try to force myself to reach something attainable each day - whether that's 2 pages, 1 page, 50 words, or a sentence will be different depending on the writer. I aim for that goal, but if I miss it, I do two things:
- Do not take that loss as a debt, because if I do, the disincentive to write will only grow
- Write at least something, even if it's just a few words.
Doing it each day keeps the story in my head and keeps at least some sort of progress going, even if it's at a snail's pace. The trick is getting yourself to do it every day, of course, and it's not perfect, but it's the method that works for me best.

This is a good suggestion too, I think!

Thay sounds like a good idea, actually. And the debt thing is easily something I can see failing so, also good idea.
Good luck!
