Thank you. Like I said below, I didn't put things very well when I wrote the LJ entry. What it all came from was that I realized the story I was writing wasn't my story, so I couldn't keep writing it. The focus on publishing was just part of it; I think I didn't want to say what I truly felt because it sounded like failing, and I have a pretty ridiculous fear of being a failure.

Anyway.

Everything you've said is right. It gets very difficult not to think about the publishing side of things when trying to get published. But I'm working on plotting and planning the stories I really want to tell, and I'll know when it's time to start again.

True enough, and good advice in general. The real problem with this one, though, was realizing that I wasn't telling my own story. I was telling someone else's with the serial numbers filed off. I didn't put this best when I was writing the LJ entry, but posting from a position of worry and nervousness never makes things very clear. ^_^
