Take a week off, during which time you're not allowed to even think about your 'broken' ms - you will anyway, but it's the intention that counts.
Work on something new and shiny until the week's up.
Go back over the ms and make a note of all the things you like about it (only the good stuff, no neggy-negatives), then ask yourself the $64,000 question:
Is there enough good stuff to make it worth fixing the bad? If so, have at it. Your sub-conscious has already been working on finding a way, so you may find it much easier than you first thought.

Hope that helps. Good luck :)
