I took the advice of some people here who think my writing is good but lacks narrative drive. I have a hard time with keeping the story going because whenever I am in the zone I tend to ruminate on character ad nauseum. Whenever I have to tell myself to stop and to continue the narrative I lose that flowstate. But lately I've been trying to force myself to get the narrative down. It's led to the actual writing to lessen its quality, but that can be fixed with edits. Here's a bit from the opening where a character notices that a previously abandoned venue, notorious for live shows + human sacrifice, is suddenly lighting up again.
