Yet more Ninjas vs. Aliens metrics

Here's recent progress on my comic/sci-fi young adult project where a girl becomes a ninja and fights aliens with much ass-kicking and many LOLs but not a whole lot of kissing (or any kissing, to be frank) plus BONUS Bruce Lee's ghost, a vintage Thunderbird, zenlightenment on the fly, and fat stacks of Cool Ranch Doritos.
Project: Ninja Planet
Deadline: Sooner or Later
New words written: 2368 (Better, if not stellar.)
Present total word count: 27,040 words





Things accomplished in fiction: Caught up to Paulie, the alien abduction victim/survivor who is in one hell of a pissy mood; negotiated tentative peace between Paulie and Walter, the FBI agent; got Paulie to start telling his story.

Things accomplished in real life: Went to the bank; went to the post office; burned through only half a box of tissues so I must be improving, right?; did some internet research on bathroom remodeling oops I mean aliens or martial arts or something; took a brief nap with the kitty.

Other: Check it out - John DeNardo's Book Cover Smackdown (at SF Signal) pits INEXPLICABLES against some fine opponents - The Burning Man, The Inexplicables, and Deadfall Hotel: FIGHT!
