Because the last two years I did Nano, I already kinda sorta knew what I wanted to write. Maybe not all the details, but basic plot, basic everything. Now I'm just going by complete "eh, I wonder if that would sound good," and I don't like it. Granted, it's probably a lot better to be doing that now than during Nano...or I'd end up just rewriting my Nano from previous years in hopes of properly finishing the story...
