I have been working on a project for five months. The series has some interesting characters, and the story is plain right now, but with some additional work, I feel it will be a good story. It contains some interesting perspectives that were answers to "What if THIS was real...?" The cast is on it's way to diversity. The main characters deal with some interesting issues which allow those same characters to parallel each other, and make statements about the choices we make and the consequences. All in all, the story, the ideas, and the characters could become something interesting. The problem is I've hit a mental block. The dreaded Writer's Block.
I'm at that point in the Writer's Journey where the story and the characters and everything related to the project has become work. It's a little fun, but not enough to make the process enjoyable. It's become a chore. Changing project is not an option. I've done that a few times already, and nothing will get finished if I keep tossing something away every time I discover it's become work, I'll never finish anything. I've already taken a break. But it hasn't improved anything.
I'm not sure how to approach this. I'd love any advice, or ways you may have kicked this thing in it's butt.
