Thinking about this, perhaps the most productive thing I could do is set myself up on the NaNoWriMo challenge and just go for it. The 50,000 words which form the basis of the challenge equal 10 x 5,000 word chapters each broken down into 5 x 1000 word scenes. That means 1,700 words a day or thereby.
If I have the sense not to over-think it they don't even have to be 50,000 good words, just good enough to get me to the stage of having a first draft to kick around. And I can improve my chances of getting there by planning and plotting in the coming weeks
If I do this it will be one of the "new" ideas I think.
