Actually, I just had a great idea for how to work around this. I'd been tossing a random story idea around in my head for a while (it was given to me by one of my customers, oddly enough) but wasn't sure how I could connect it to the world I'm writing about, but I think I figured out what to do- make the main character of that story be one of the characters from the story I'm currently writing; that way the new story won't take me away from what I'm currently writing because it'll be giving me character development and stuff based on what I already have. I don't know if I can get 10,000 words from this, but I have until the end of July to decide if I can do it, right?
