So yesterday when we were about halfway over to Ballarat I realised that while 8 years ago writing about all the crap that happened to me in highschool was theraputic, now it seems to me that I'm just dragging up old issues that I dealt with a while ago.
I just can't get back into the mindset, and honestly I've realised that I don't want to.
So I'm going back to finish off last years story which is probably going to end up being long enough to have 3 nanos worth of words in them.
I've already written more today on last years story (the new old one) than I had the past 3 days on the other story.
Oh well, it's helping me get to my goal.

I've changed my story as well. I'm using my first idea from last year and developing that rather than continuing last years and making a start on the 2nd book. I think it's good to submit a stand alone story and submitting that to a publisher will get a better chance than having a multiple book submitted.
