Nabeel, I can certainly appreciate the blunt argument, it is something I've questioned myself about a few times. The work was not intended to form a complete book when I started it; like the rest of my notes, it was just a way of immersing myself in the background in order to fill it out. But I got rather carried away and it became more than a collection of loosely connected scenes. I like what I've done so far and think it has potential - but only if I can bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. So I do want to do it.
For now I'll follow the story as I know it in my head, and if it turns out to be boring or disjointed I'll try to fix it when I come back. And even if I can't fix it to a publishable state, at least it will be finished.
