Things they are a-changin'

1) I am now going to be crossposting to the blog I set up in LJ's absence: Writeblog @ paper-hearted.org. It's been updated already, and I intend to keep updating it.

No, this journal isn't going anywhere, but it is kind of nice to have a blog that will remain up even if LJ collapses, and for people who aren't on LJ at all. Because there is a world outside El Jay Land.


2) The tower!guy story is coming along just fine. I actually have a title for it, but I’m keeping that close to the chest for now in case I decide to change it.

The end is trudging along, slowly. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get some of it worked on even though I’ve got a trip to Connecticut (wheee!) coming up and my sister’s wedding in August.

Right now, the wordcount is sitting at a nice neat 100,000 and minor change. I’m less than 15,000 from the end, and I already know that about that much (if not more) is going to have to come out in unnecessary scenes, dialog and descriptions, and getting down to the prose level and taking out completely stupid word choices.

To keep me honest:
