nanowrimo_lj I started writing nearly straight away - got quite a few words done then ANOTHER plot came into my head - so unbelievably hard that I can't focus on the one I started with.
Now I don't know whether to go back and try to get on with the original, work on the new one or work on both?
Anyone else been in this situation before? D:

Sorry I'm not much help. :)
