   I'm still not quite clear on what the meaning of "stuck" is for you...in other   
   words, what would have to happen before you can call it done and be happy with   
   it?   
      
      
   Is it that you've committed yourself to three books and you've only completed   
   two of them?  I think you're saying there's a 15 year chronological gap   
   between the end of Book 2 and the next planned scene in Book 3, and you don't   
   feel you can just pick up    
   Book 3 at that point, is that it?     
      
   Do you feel that the rest of the work is useless without completing Book 3, or   
   are you just continuing to write because you like doing it?  (In which case,   
   not doing it for 10 years tends to indicate that it's not such a pleasure   
   after all...)
