Cue semi rant.

The suckiest thing in the world.
I don't know how I'm going to finish Generations. I don't want to give up on it, I've come too far writing it and still have ideas for where it's meant to be going... but at the same time, I'm having trouble finding the same oomph to write it that I once had. And after I go away this summer things are probably going to be even worse...
The plot is there - or the overarching structure of it is. I know what each chapter's about. I've got key scenes planned out in my head. But they just won't connect together. It's like being able to play the dungeons but not the overworld. I can cut it shorter than what I planned - but I'd feel like I was letting myself down, and I don't feel like it would be the story I wanted to write.
Urgh.
I need to write this. I need some sort of an inspiration kick in the pants. Only all the inspiration I'm getting presently relates to Heavy Metal Revolution (my college project/personal original story) or Metroid. This isn't good...
Maybe I've just been writing it too long. But if I give up now I'll be kicking myself.
I can't give in. But I'm lost all the same.
Aaaaaargh! Ideas, anyone? Anything?
And PS: My LJ client hates me. It posted the title on its own by accident. Then refused to post the entry proper. Gah. *plasma cannons computer*
