05/15/2011: "The Fault Lies Not" Progress Report

I've reached 7,314 words on Side Project 1, "The Fault Lies Not".  Considering everything I want to do in the rest of the story, I don't know if I'm going to keep it under 10,000.  Not that I'm too concerned about the word count.  Whenever asked, I usually say that the story will be as long as it takes to tell the story.  (Some say that shorter works stand a better chance of getting published.  I'm not convinced; I've found plenty of publishers who will take works over 10,000 words.)

Hopefully I’ll be able to stay on track and get the story finished.  I have at least one more story about Lin and I’d like to get to it.

Now, excuse me while I rant a moment...
