Distractions

I know. I know that I should be re-writing my book and I will.

But...

I was ill all last week - laid low by Covid. Lying bored in bed I had an idea for a different book and over the course of a few hours got a fairly good outline together that I think is interesting. But it's not the work I should be doing. I know that I am distracting myself from a more difficult task - editing is way more difficult than writing.

So - should I write some of the new work and "get it out of the way" or should I knuckle-down and do some proper work.

Sigh
