Putting Venus on hiatus

She probably won't like it—nobody puts Venus in a corner—but I'm going to have to leave off on this one for a bit. I'm so close to the denouement (climax seemed the wrong word to use in conjunction with Venus) I can see it's house from here, but it's just not moving forward. I've had a frustrating week bashing my head against a wall (actually several, on and off), so instead of doing that very painful thing, I'm going to take a few weeks off and work on revisions of last year's novel.

I want to get that out and about and circulating, plus working on something else will either help me identify why I am stuck or give me a fresh perspective and jolt me forward. I'm not sure if the stuckness is a life thing or a ms. thing, but working on something else is the best way I know of determining that. So.
