For discussion: What do you all do about these WIPs that have been sitting in the WIP folder for such a long time, the ones you've maybe lost interest in writing? Do you keep them with plans to come back to them eventually? Do you salvage bits and pieces to incorporate into other fics or delete them entirely after a while? (And if you don't have any such files in your folder, please tell me how to do that ;) )

I was working. I stopped on the WIP to catch up with paid work. Both have exhausted me in different ways but it feels good to have finished the work and not to have RL things hanging over me for the rest of the week. The GYWO big bang have relaxed the deadline. I don't know what to feel about that because I like to push myself but I want to take my time to get it right.

Anyway, I'm hoping that having thrown myself into something else entirely for a while will have helped me get some perspective on the WIP.

As for the discussion topic, I don't so musch have a WIPs file but plans in notebooks. Sometimes they have been really useful. I never throw them out.
