Listen.

That WIP isn't dead.

We've just put it out to pasture.

Yeah, we could tell it just wasn't feeling it's usual self this season, so we've decided to give it a rest to take the pressure off.

When will it be back? We don't know. Rest and recuperation takes time. It'll tell us when it's ready to return.

And hey, if it ends up having to retire, that's fine too. We've had a good run with this WIP. Would be a shame to work it into the ground if it's really not a doer. Not all WIPs are born to be winners, after all.

And there's always the possibility of producing a new WIP from it. Who knows, its offspring could just go on to be the next big thing.

#Writeblr #WIP #WIP as a horse analogy #I think I'm funny #Horse metaphor WIP #Work In Progress #Storyblr #Fanfiction #Writing #Stories are like horses #Sometimes you've got a field full of fluffy little oneshots that serve no other purpose than to be cute and cuddly #And sometimes you have your big chunky multichapter fics that do all the heavy lifting #Sometimes your multichapters are still growing and you don't yet know if they'll grow up to be big strong stories #Or low level eventers better suited for the home circuit #And that's fine too
