This seems to be the same slump I get in for all my stories. Every time I reach the middle of the story I always seem to reach a block and try to figure out what's good about the story. Then I get that evil voice at the back of my head saying 'will anyone read this?', 'Is this original?', 'Am I waisting my time?'
This is the point that I need to take a break, and to me a break was getting out with my camera and taking pictures of my dogs running (okay, so that was for an assignment for my photography course, but it was still a break).
Now hopefully I can return to my novel and finish it so I can start working on the other's I've still got sitting around.
What do you do if you come to a slump in your writing? What parts of your stories do you usually find the slump occurring?

Hi there,
I'm with you. My trouble spot is usually/always the middle. It's where doubt comes into play, like you said. Hope you push through!

The middle is always tough, I think. Good luck getting over this slump! Being at 32K already is incredibly impressive, so you more than deserve a break!
Weirdly terrible at beginnings, nothing better than music, photography and sitting in the passenger seat and letting your muse take a wander...
