Right now, there could be a million gems out there for me to read, and every one that doesn't work for me just wasted time I could have spent on one of the great ones.

So I'd rather work harder to dig out the good ones and avoid the bad ones, than struggle to finish something that isn't working. It's just figuring out how to go about choosing, and how much time to give a new one.

And how bored I may be getting with the genre I've been wallowing in. Sometimes, it's just a sign to experiment.
