Writer's Block

I'm stuck! My book is languishing, even though it's (basically) done. What do I do now? Keep tweaking it until my eyes disintegrate? Send it out to another indifferent agent? Send it to a small press and pray I get paid anything? Or leave it forever in a folder?

I'm having separation anxiety with this novel, especially since I know it has problems. What about all that scene-blocking I have yet to do? Do I let certain exchanges of dialogue stay confusing? Did I explain too much instead of subtly showing what I want to say?

Who knows. An editor will come along and chop it up anyhow; I think I need to be a little more detached. Easier said than done, though.

Here's Tainted Love.
