The Breakup

What do you do when you have an assignment to finish (for yourself) but you're over it because it's already taken too long and it's your own fault?

I've been working on this picture book now for several years.  I have no idea why it is taking me so long to just complete the darn thing but now I'm to the point where I don't want to do it anymore. I want to scrap it and start on something new.  Can I do that?  Can I just make the decision to bid it farewell? I've been telling people about this forever now, will they look at me crazy?

Me to my book:

I'm not saying this is the end,  I just need a break...
It's not you, it's me...
Can we still be friends?
