Decision made! The Digital Doorstop is going to be two books.
Unexpected benefit: I can now say I’ve written two novels!
Unexpected downside: I have to do two covers and two cover blurbs.
Coming soon, an excerpt from the first book.

*bounces with badly suppressed excitement*
It’ll probably be part of the first chapter, which I’m still not wholly happy with, but then I’m never happy with first chapters – the first chapter of the book about roleplayers that never saw the light of day had been rewritten so many times it made me cringe to look at it.
Shall I add you to my blogroll or is your blog just a placeholder?
I like the first chapter. How different is it from the last one I saw?
It’s currently a placeholder, until I get something finished. I am Inspired on a short story though, so who knows?
I don’t think a lot’s changed, except that it’s a bit tighter – I wanted it to start with a bang, so there’s less of Tzenni interacting with the trade town outside Shainault’s gates before she gets inside and meets Innes and ends up on the run from the guard.
Also, I need to do one final adjective extraction run. 🙂
And also, yay for the inspired short story!
