The state of things

megwritesI was taking a look at the Tower!Guy novel today, just to see if it looked any different to me after a few weeks of being put to bed. There are technical and grammar errors I'm better able to see, but characterization and structure are still the same to me. I don't have any major changes to make, only minor touch ups.
I'd still really love this novel to have a home, but it seems it's all dressed up with nowhere to go.
So I was contemplating: what about podcasting it? Or just putting it out there for free with a virtual tip jar? No, it's not publication, but this thing obviously isn't going to get published. Might as well see if I can make a few bucks off of it, heaven knows I could use the money right about now.
I thought I'd bounce the idea of the blogosphere and get opinions. Good idea? Bad? Worst idea ever?
Meanwhile, the writing of the UF!2Girls novel continues apace. I'm on the other side of 80k and about 2/3rds of the way through. I'm planning on having 120,000 words for the first draft, and being able to shave about 20-30k of those off, because I'd like to keep this novel as lean as it needs to be.
I have to say, I still love the thrill of writing a good story. Even if I'm the only one who ever reads it. Maybe I won't ever get published, but I still love doing this. I'm still glad I queried around and gave it the old college try.
I still love this. I think that's the important thing. I still love it deeply.
