As an 'ooo, shiny' person, myself, those new ideas read to me like procrastination. For me, they're usually fear driven thoughts that I can't possibly do the first idea any justice, so why not try something new. My advice to write it down and come back to it later was to help in case idea #2 was this kind of procrastination technique. (Which, for me, it totally would be. So, I'm personally in the camp of seeing story #1 through.)

And Shaye it's totally your nano, so write what you want to write.
