89,206. Ahem. Never mind (well, mostly) the last post. I've already been there (the "I should just quit because obviously I can't do this" there) and realized before that I still wouldn't stop writing stories, which I also realized again. If I'm going to keep writing them, I might as well keep trying to sell them. So, yes, I cut a bunch of stuff from the end, it was boring and off point. And I have reordered the ending chapters - what a shock. Have had a couple more emails from people who enjoyed Lord Ruin, that's really nice to hear. So, I should be fixing those ending chapters right now. I'm recognizing a pattern which is that I write/fix a couple of sentences then jump up and walk around or futz around with, oh, say, a blog or something, thinking "What do I do next?" (Plus imagine a panicky desperate feeling and the hope that someone else will have fixed it while I was out.) and then I go back and .... You see?
