So I've found some pathetic motivation to be writing, which is a step up from the point I was at when I decided I'd be AWOL for a bit. I'm still using dA and other sites to procrastinate, though at least in more creative ways. (That's what I keep telling myself, at least.)

I have decided that ten years is really too long to let a novel sit around without finishing it, so I'm working on Voices in the Dark again. I'm still debating the issues of making a two-part novel (how it was intended) or two separate novels. I don't know that the first has a good enough ending to make people want to read the second book (in sequel format), so that'd incline me to write one novel only. I think it might be awfully long for one book, though... most publishing companies are looking for about 100,000 words. That's going to be my goal word count for both Voices and the side project anthology I'm putting together.

Oh, if you haven't taken a good look at my Original Quote t-shirt, go look and vote for it. If it doesn't win I might be producing it on my own, and (in that case) I'd link you to the online store to get your own if you want it. But I'd rather have dA choose to produce it, honestly.

Bye for now,
