Nine degrees is cold, but it's not THAT cold. You're talking to someone who spent his childhood waiting for buses in subzero temperatures on a daily basis. This kind of cold is tolerable.
I'll agree with the crazy pacing. I liked some of the scenes, but I felt like it needed to establish a more defined flow. Perhaps I'll get to Monster some day.
What might be a good idea is you work on one idea until you start to lose momentum and then you work on the other idea until that one loses momentum and by then you might have gotten some other ideas for the first idea and go back to that and so on. That way, you can listen to your muse without having to abandon ideas. And just be glad that you have a productive muse. My muse is constantly sitting in the back room sipping coffee, cranking out good ideas maybe once every six months or so. He's a slacker. Probably because I'm a bit of a slacker too, but I guess that's life. Luckily for me, Computer Science doesn't require a lot of right-brained thinking.
