I'm having a truly embarrassment of riches nano problem. I'm continuing my previous Nano, and I'm having to reread my previous one in order to remember exactly where I was. I've been working on another story during the year, so I'm really out of touch with my current project. Writing 50,000 words means reading my 50,000 previous words. The story could use some tweaking, but that's not the issue. I just don't want to have to read 50,000 words - and have procrastinated accordingly. Damn. Now I have to.
