Sorry to admit this, but I'm one of those authors who haven't finished a couple of my stories. I get writer's block and deal with it by taking a break, then work on a short take, or start a new story. Then, I get motivated and inspired to add another chapter to an existing story. It's not a recommended method, but it works for me.

Also, shoulder surgery can put a real cramp in productivity.:

Thanks to those of you whose emails have cheered me up. You've encouraged me enough to do some hand editing...(with my right hand.)

Hope to post some updates soon! I needed to see this thread. Thanks for the kick in the pants!
