Why is that? I mean when I started the story a year or so ago I really enjoyed writing. I guess circumstances change and priorities shift.

I find this too. I still enjoy writing O&C but it's more like work now and harder to get started on a new chapter. I think the reason is that when I started te story I could write any damn thing I liked without worrying about continuity, whether it fitted into the plot I had planned (because I didn't have a plot planned=-), whether I'm giving away too much or too little information. As you get deeper into the story, you need to spend more thought on these things, and that drains some of the fun out of it.
