Manic Eponymous Recedes Temporarily

Stalled. Stalled cold. No reason. I'll blame it on finals and a cold May.


Should be back soon. Bisy Bakson. Meh.


Here's something cool to look at until I return.

On-the-fly rewriting

Cutting cop/killer story back to 2 short pieces.

Started, scrapped, and restarted second P.I. story. I was reading an article by Orson Scott Card (who frankly I am conflicted about, when he's good, he's good, and the rest of the time, most of the time, he bores me to tears) that rang true. He was talking about an early novel that he had written as a group of novellas. He identified the problems with that, and I realized I was doing the same thing.

That may be fixed. This second P.I. story brings threads and characters from all the pieces together. I'll have to do a significant rewrite of the ending of the criminal story to get everything to mesh. That's good, the current climax is as little weak anyway.

Nothing a giant explosion won't fix ;)
