You wouldn't expect an artist to create a masterpiece the first time they pick up a paintbrush. It takes practice and time and more practice to write great fiction, and whether all that time and practice goes into one project or into successive ones is entirely up to the writer. As long as you're having fun with the current MS, it's a good reason to keep going with it! Personally, I hit the "this isn't fun anymore" wall with my own MS last week, and I am still trying to figure out if I can go on with it or not.

It reminds me of when I wrote short stories or mangas as a teenager. The result was of course anything but good, but materializing the core idea that I had and loved was a lot of fun.

My respect for working systematically on your work!
