Subject:      Persistance of Time (0)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like I'm doing a zero post
after all.

Janine Shaninian just wrote to tell me that most folks on the list like
to know how long a story is going to be, wait until the end to read it,
and sometimes just plain ignore stories that come out sproradically.

Whew. Guess I'm screwed then.

I don't know how long Persistance of Time will run. Maybe 20
installments, maybe 30, maybe more. I can't honestly tell you when I'll
be done, because I simply don't know. And I could write 100 line
chapters three at a time, but I'm writing 300 line chapters one at a
time. Hopefully, thats enough.

And yes, I have a general outline of where I'm going with the tale of
Perseus, but its all in my head, and is subject to change. So I don't
want to flat out tell you the story is 30 parts, and then end it in
chapter 23, forced to draw out seven more chapters just to fill my
quota.

And the reason for the sporadic posts (although I think I've been doing
pretty well so far) is because I a) have a life outside of the story
with its own demands and resonsibilities, and b) am working on two
other net.writings as well as a home page. I hope you don't hold it all
against me, and give the story a chance.
