Can I shoot myself yet?

So, remember that plot idea I was talking about last time? The one I'd abandoned my original novel idea in hopes of writing?

It flopped. Went belly-up.

So what am I writing now? Of all things, a novel I started in grade eight, about school kids and aliens. A youth novel.

I am clearly insane.

It seems to have been a good choice, though. It's coming along. I have twice as much of it as I had of my last attempt.

Not far off the pace. I'll need to catch up tonight / this weekend, though.
