The good news is that the story of Justine has not “evolved to – nothing at all”.

I have an outline of the novel, a first draft of chapter 3, rough drafts of several other chapters and the last 3 paragraphs of the novel written.
My main problem with Justine was chapter 2. Every version of chapter 2 seemed completely flat after chapter one. (Remember chapter one was originally going to be a stand alone short story). I still don’t know if I can do an entire novel in the same “flash back” style of chapter 1. I don’t know if I can write it and I don’t know if the reader would enjoy reading it.

I am, however, feeling over committed, I started writing Terminal Singularity as a commercial SF/Erotic/Romance novel such as you can find on Diesel eBooks. Plus I still want to finish Alice.

But mostly I need to organize my time and actually sit down and write.

Sorry that it didn’t work out – I was interested in where the Justine story would evolve too. Sad to see that it evolved to — nothing at all.

I don’t know you, and I am not going to whine about someone else not updating a free story they were publishing – just expressing my regret that this stuff went nowhere. Sigh – not the first time – Gina Marie Wylie at asstr.org comes to mind also, as a favourite author who had a few really good stories on the go, but got distracted and never finished them.

Dang.
