Can I shoot myself yet?

[wordwhacker]

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.

Word Count: 3,362
Percentage of goal: 6.7%
Percentage of month past: 9%

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

And how are those aliens working for you?

Quite well, though they haven't made their dramatic entrance yet. I think I'm goiing to spend some quality time figuring out some generalities of the plot today, and then try to get 5,000 words of writing in to catch up to the pace.
