It’s so great so far! Give it time, and if not... Leave it as is! I want more from it, but love it jus as it is! It’s beautiful even if you feel it isn’t finished!!
I appreciate the encouragement, but I really don’t like the idea of leaving something up that I know I won’t be able to finish.
The idea I had for the story does not work, and even if I were able to do something with the big picture idea (telepathic dream sharing) it would not look anything like this story. So this needs to come down, because it’s never going to be finished.
Unless I wake up in the morning and my brain has magically filled in all the problems I discovered in the plot this afternoon, but I doubt that’s going to happen.

It’s okay if things aren’t going the way you imagined them, and it’s okay if you decide to scrap and start again. You have a whole host of followers out here who are just eager to support you and appreciate you sharing your talent and art with us! It’s frustrating to be where you’re at right now, but just know that we’re so grateful and understanding of your process and the struggles that come along with it. I hope you find a way to work around the struggle, and if not then that’s okay too! :)
I’m so frustrated, because looking at this plot idea from my perspective today, I can’t understand why ten days ago Nancy thought it would work. I should have known the Doctor and Rose wouldn’t do what I’d planned for them to do, at least not without a bunch of other things I very specifically did not want to write. (Awkward conversations, etc.)
I feel like I’ve lost my intuitive understanding of these characters and what they would do in various situations. And I don’t know how to get it back, or even if I can bring myself to keep trying when I just fail every time.
