I was paralyzed with indecision all of last week. I was suddenly afraid that the direction I’d taken my core thread of Space Heist was all wrong. I thought I’d come at it too straight, that I’d forced the character into a situation that would work better if I pushed them toward it but let the POV finish the job.

I might have a point, that character is pretty reactive. But as of this morning I’m over 12,000 words into it and I’m loathe to ditch all that in the first draft and start over AGAIN. So I’m gonna finish what I’ve got and consider the new angle later.
