nanowrimo_lj | Should I start over?

Gah, what to do, what to do....Okay. Going into week 2 now, and my word count is horribly low. I won't even post the number, that's how bad it is. :) I had oral surgery this week, and was hoping to get a jump on things then....but I was soooo drugged up, that all I did was sleep. Lame. But vicodin naps are quite lovely!

ANYway. My plan is, after working today (I have a 6 hour shift), the rest of today and tomorrow is devoted to marathon writing, so as to catch up to where I should be right now. And now...well, I have a new storyline floating around in my head. Last night I had this dream, and it was a COMPLETE story - with a plot! - and well-defined characters. Oddly, my male lead looked like a young Burt Lancaster. :) There's no doubt I *will* write out this particular dream/story someday...but should I scrap my other writing, that I'm kind of struggling with, and go with this NEW story that I'm actually excited about?

Argh. I don't know what to do! But right now, I have to head to work. :)
