Diary 5/6/11

Haven't had a chance to work on the draft yet - the lethargy of the holidays and the amount we have planned isn't helping either. I have too many ideas, to the point that simple decisions will drastically change the outcome of the novel. Do I steer my work in the direction of the philosophical exploration of the notions of death and free will in a modern perspective, or focus more on the narrative of an enthralling transcendent setting? I'm leaning towards the latter, since the former will probably not be enjoyable enough to motivate myself to write. I'm going to have to push forward through the discomfort to find something tangible.
