Graeme, you pretty well summed it up. Burn out is the death knell to a story. I do not know everything about it, but I seem to remember a certain author who may be burned out. At that point, creativity is low or maybe even non-existent. Couple that with CJ's work, everything else he does here, and his personal life, there is only so much he can write. That goes for all authors really. If I get into a rush about writing, I simply cannot write. Write for your own enjoyment. Your fans will appreciate it.
