Writing the Second Lambeth Croak Book

I started writing the second book in the Lambeth Croak series during NaNoWriMo but I didn't get as far as 50,000 words, currently I am 36,000 so only 4000 words so far this month. I am finding the second book harder to write than the first. When I wrote the first book I started by the seat of my pants and about a third of the way through developed a plan for the rest of the book. For some reason the goal posts keep changing with this one. I think I know where I'm going and then something happens to take me in a different direction, which is all very well but a bit unsettling because where I thought the book was going isn't where it's going at all.

When I began it was with an idea that East European gangs would try a takeover bid on Yardie territory, noe, it's more of a police conspiracy involving a character from the last book so I don't really know where it's going. Anyway, what's it all got to do with me, I'm only the writer.
