This is absolutely the most important thing about feeling dead-ended! Too many times over the years I've seen people toss aside characters for the wrong reasons. Sometimes many times from the same person!
Part of it is figuring out what kind of storyteller you are.
Do you write better in shorter, fully-wrapped-up tales? Then sometimes a good "and they were whatever ever after" and a character change is the right answer.
Do you write better as an ever-changing reacting thing?
Do you love being the person who adds a little flavor to other people's RP even if you're not involved?
and so on-
Figuring out what you like and what you're not liking is harder than it sounds in theroy, ha. X3
