Could ya'll share any tips on how to regain interest in a story that one loses interest in.

lose interest in a story I'm writing after something else gets my attention, be it a game, a story to read, another idea to write, or yet something else.

This is me.

Procreate, and then you'll be so busy that you'll only have time to read parenting books.

I don't like this comment. I'm giving your story a one star.

Now, I'm going to sound like a jerk for asking this so I'll apologize in advance. Is this the only thing you ever talk about? You respond in this forum quite often, and its usually to complain about how you don't have time due to being a mom.

I have a few stories where the concept and premise are good, the writing is well done, and the characters are interesting. Either due to erratic pacing (going from a normal pace to a really slow pace and then trying to switch to a really fast pace), slow chapter upload speed, or extremely short chapters, I lost interest. Do you guys have any psychological tricks that I can use to hype myself up again and give them another shot?

Give it a couple weeks and then continue, if you can't, dont.

I usually just wait for more chapters to upload and then forget about the series entirely. A year or two later, I may continue where I left, start rereading, or just drop it. lol

Drugs.
I recommend the legal kind. Energy shots work well. I highly recommend Provigil, but you'll need to fake having narcolepsy to get a prescription, or work the night shift.

Beat yourself up.
Remind yourself what a loser you are for always giving up and never finishing anything. Plunge yourself into a tailspin of depression and self loathing until you finish the story out of guilt.

Yes. The kid literally sucks the creative juices out of me through my nipples.

I'm still teaching him how to read. He drifted off to sleep with me talking about r-controlled vowels.
