After my meltdown halfway through the month last year, I decided to do things a bit differently this time.  For two days, I’ll write entirely new stories.  On the third day, I’ll finish a story I’ve started and never finished, or rewrite a story that needs it.  And I’m taking Sundays off.  I think that will be much easier on me.  So today, since it’s the third day, I rewrote one of the stories I wrote last year for Story a Day.  It had been cleaned up and rewritten slightly since then, and passed out to my writers’ group, but I’d never taken the time to finish the rewrite.  I changed the ending entirely, changed the magic system some, and incorporated a fair number of very good suggestions my writers’ group had given me.  It’s still a bit rough, and I’ll let it sit a day or two before I do the final rewrite, but I’m much more satisfied with it now.
