'No Step' Stenciled on Wing

As I was flying across the Atlantic yesterday, while looking out the window, I noticed the familiar stenciled warning message, “No Step”. This is the root text of the title of my new novel, Not a Step.

I need to finish writing it. I’m frustrated that I’ve made so little progress in the past few months. Sometimes I think I’d do better to delete it and write a new novel, a different story.
