Which one?
Can I have your opinions, please?

Okay, this may sound slightly complicated, so bear with me, please. =)
Mid May I started writing a ghost story. (No, not the one I posted in Original Works section--a different one.) I got very extremely attached to it, adding in quotes at the beginnings of each chapter that applied to the chapter (which is very much so easier said then done half of the time), basing characters off of friends and RP charries (if you are on the DE, you might remember Tim and Jami Vandal? Yes? No? Well, they're in it.) I was overjoyed to find a place (creatspace) that I could possibly self-publish it, but then, something happened in my family and I felt the need to stop writing.
A week or so later, I got another idea. This is the titeless story that I started to write, and posted. I loved the idea and then...I started to consider the other story. Confused, I had to stop writing this new story.
And now I need help. Which one should I continue writing? Below is what would be on the back of the book for the ghost story, Eternity, or it might be a preface or something. I will also post a link to the titless story, so you can see what it's about if you haven't already read it.

Eternity
She knelt down in front of me and took off her glasses. “Sweetheart,” she asked, “What were you doing outside?”
I blinked and rubbed my chest a little. Then I folded my hands in my lap and said, “Oh, I was talking to dead people.”
And that’s how I was branded as the ‘Ghost-Girl.’ Because every once in a while I see ghosts. They talk to me, I talk to them. Some of them are children, and they just want to play. Others beg for help. Help with what? I’m never sure. I now know better than to touch them. When I touch them, I get a feeling of how they felt at the moment of their death. I’m not sure how I do it, or why I do it.
I’m just sure that I’m not normal, and I don’t know why. I am cursed with what some may call a gift.
And I hate it.
Absolutely, positively, hate it.
Aaand the link to the other story;

I'd personally stick with the original story, just because you've been working on it for so long, and people are getting attached to it. (Like me. xD)

Well, I like both, but I also think you should stick with the original story! 1st of all, because you've already written a lot, and if you were to write a ghost/fantasy story, there's the possibility that you'd run out of ideas... Hope this helped!

Certainly stick with the original story
It's important to finish writing something long like that, because the more time you spend away from it, the less you'll get to know your characters.. You could also try writing both, but that would be way to hard, probably.

Ya, writing more than one story is hard. xD It's not impossible, though.
