Fourth Time's A Charm?

So I started on a new work (even though I should really work on the second book in the trilogy). And I started it again. And a third time. I'm right now on incarnation number four and I hope this one is better. It's been difficult to begin this even though I know exactly where I want it to go, and it won't be a trilogy! Huzzah! It's a standalone and probably will be around 400 pages or so. That's a guesstimate, but it won't be nearly as long as my first real finished epic novel (about 650 pages and it has chapters missing). But yeah, this is just something I'm working on on the side, especially since I'm now unemployed and looking for employment with my nice shiny new Masters degree.

So what should I talk about today? Well, I am still looking for readers for Light (which I am considering changing the name of - I thought about "An Absence of Light", and I have a few ideas for the second, nothing good so far ("Mired By Darkness"? BLAH!), and then the third would be like "Felled By Gray" or "Gray Uncaged" or something). I'm a bad critic of my own work. However, I fancy myself a good reviewer of other people's work. Probably because Megan is mean with a G.

I'm going back to New York on Wednesday to finish cleaning out my apartment and taking my mom on yet another tour of the city, and then back to NC until I find a job. Or until I get published. That would be acceptable, too. Or until I marry a rich successful sugar daddy. Not as preferable, but acceptable.

With that, I leave you with a music suggestion that I've written to. Maybe it will inspire you.
