I hate that I have no idea what I actually want to write. Classified asside, more talking about my novel.

On one hand, I have my current novel-in-progress. I love the characters, the storyline, etc. but recently I have not been able to make myself work on it. On the other hand, I have some other things I'm starting to really want to work on instead. One is a rewrite/update of Super Secret Society of Superheroes. The other is a rewrite of one of my older novels, the first one I ever finished and one my friends are all still pumped about even if they only read the beginning.

One issue is that I like to give my RL friends chapters to read and I don't like being like, "BTW I have a new story now sorry but here's something completely different". Also, my writing camp friends two years ago helped me decide on if I should ditch what I was writing at the time to work on the project I was excited about (which is the story I'm working on now). All my friends seem to like the story and I'd feel bad if I just decide to leave them hanging on it for something else even if I'm not feeling it too much anymore.

IK I should work on what I want to work on and not worry about what other people say because eventually I will go back to any story I've frozen. They never leave my head, they just sit there, slowly getting better and better until I know what I'm doing. And obviously I'm not at the point where I can sit down and write something with the goal to get it published- I write for fun, for practice, and to get ideas out of my head.

But I'm honestly kind of torn. IDK, I'm going to take a shower soon, I'll think about it while I'm in there. But someone help me figure this out.
