The Adventures of Jerry

I'm 9400 words into my current "short story" and have finally decided I need to just shelve it. The darn thing would make a good novel, and so I'm just going to save what I have to use as detailed notes for writing that novel. Later.

It's been about 6 months since I've finished anything. I think that qualifies as a fiction writing slump. It's not a block, because I have no problems working on stories. But finishing them... Not good.

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the Zoloft I've been taking. Since it works on compulsions, it stands to reason it might mess with my compulsion to finish things. I hesitate to stop taking it, though, because while I'm on it I'm a pretty happy guy.


In a world forever changed by corporate warfare, where even the government and religious powers bow to the will of mass media, a handful of hackers and urbanite rebels plot against a cybernetic power they're convinced is the Antichrist himself.
