NaNo

Additional problem:

Last weekend, an old idea for an original story basically... leapt into my head and wouldn't let go. And now I am thinking about taking that for my NaNo idea, mostly because it's different and -- more importantly -- short. I can get 50,000 words out of it (I could get 50,000 words out of anything), but additionally there's a good chance that I could finish the story in November. Even with our vacation. That's promising.

( For those interested, the story's about... )

Most of all, it's a concise story, unlike Beacon (which does have a beginning and an end, but is very long and complex).

So now I'm really torn...

• Write Beacon, because it's what you should be working on anyway -- it's your most important project and what you really want to do but are scared to start because it's huge and also really important.


• Draw, once a day, for the Beacon webcomic, so that you can get started on that. You know the story, it's all outlined; there's no point in writing it if it's going to be a comic.


• Write this other story; it's short and interesting and something different. Beacon is too overwhelming for you right now -- this story would be really feasible and doable for NaNo, and you'd get to write something new.

Augh..... thoughts?
