    A continuation of work submitted previously. I'm bored with this story. Can anyone inspire me to carry on?

    Sorry Traveller, but if you’re writing this and you’re bored with it… why should anyone else read it? It’s up to you to inspire your readers to keep going… not the other way round.

    Hi Traveller,

    Oddly, since I looked at the first section and suggested you begin writing it in a slightly altered form of language I've heard of a recently published novel which does just that. (Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.) Has anyone read it?

    Maybe though you do need to come at it from an angle that excites you. Start something shorter - I'm still waiting to read the end of Violet - remember? - and maybe inspiration will strike when you least expect it. Just don't stop writing.

    Nell.

    Yeah good point Dee! Well I'm obviously inspired to write it. But not inspired to continue if that makes sense? Oh God - I guess I should read Cloud Atlas - I've heard it's a masterpiece. Nell, with regards to Violet - it died a death. It was going nowhere.
