I originally planned to write a story set during the Chu-Han period, but there aren't many historical sources, so it was a struggle. I would often write a long passage, decide I wasn't happy with it, then delete it and start over. I went through that several times, but I haven't given up entirely. The document is still in my folder. Maybe one day I'll stumble across it and feel inspired to write again, and I'll pick up my pen once more. For now, I want to set that story aside and write a tale set in an alternate history. Well, I'm the sort of person who likes to take the easy way out, so this way I can just let my imagination run free without spending too much time getting bogged down in the history.
