Home for Hearth's Warming

Hey all, just wanted to let you know I'm on holiday block leave from basic training and made it home safe despite the lake effect snow. I'm already enjoying the break and spending some time with my family before I finish up basic and head to my duty station.

As far as "Beat to Quarters" is concerned, I'm having a hard time getting back in the saddle. I know exactly how I thought I was going to continue it, and I have the notes, but... I re-read the story and I felt as though it was written by someone else.

It's like not seeing a good friend for months, then getting reunited and feeling as though they're not how you remember them. People tell me that setting a story aside for a while allows you to take a fresh look at it. Well I have, and to be honest I'm not sure if I like what I see. I poured a considerable amount of time and a less considerable amount of talent into BtQ, fought tooth and nail to advertise it and get it some recognition, and now... I don't even know why I bothered.

Maybe I'm just in a slump creativity-wise, but I keep getting the nagging feeling that this writing thing isn't for me. As always, I love hearing from you guys/gals. Happy holidays.
