I think it's healthy for projects to die. It frees up your time to start another project, instead of being stuck in a rut. I sometimes find myself working on a project that goes nowhere, thinking that if I just put enough effort it will go somewhere, and I'm not having any fun or learning new things. And I'm hard on myself with thoughts like "I need to finish it, I need to finish it" but then when I ask myself: 'why?', it's usually because of this fear of _not finishing the project_ or maybe it's the fear of not being able to distinguish the grinding phase from the failed project phase. Either way, too many times I have experienced a liberating feeling when I failed. It's a chance to start over.
