Pablo asks:
I have been struggling with a manuscript for a novel since 2015. I begin, stop, give up, take it up again, and all the time it keeps evolving in my head. Now it’s an unfinished chaotic first draft, only 38 pages so far.

I’d like to be done with it so I can move to something else. I’ve never finished anything except for a 20-page short story during pandemic lockdown. The narratives for the short story and the novel merged in my head, so the finished short story has details that connect with the unfinished novel.

I’d like to start writing the novel from scratch again, but that feels like more of what I’ve done before. So, do you have any recommendations on how to proceed?
