I don't mind reading NaNo stuff from you and I don't think you need to tie yourself to the ambulance shtick. It's your blog, and, as you say, you need something to stay interested. I don't know if I can say which premise I like more, I do love dystopias, but I like that short story you did too. And all my sympathies on the SAD, it's bad enough to manage with university but I can't fathom doing the kind of shiftwork that you do on it.
