Thanks, Aquilegia - it is good to know that so many other people hit the same wall at times!
Yes, I think you're right, that taking a break for both reasons you mention can be a good idea. I'm pretty sure that there are projects I abandoned months ago that I would now be much better equipped to complete, and certainly with the problems I'm trying to iron out at the moment I feel that I've been staring at them so long I can no longer even see them clearly any more! Oh, and you know I'm as bad as you for never actually playing my game, and spending all my time tinkering in Photoshop/Bodyshop/SimPE instead, so it would be rather a treat to do that for a while instead. ;)
And maybe I will have to accept that there are some projects I'll never be happy with, and just move on from them (bye bye, alien skintone project).
