So, I finally changed my avatar. Now this may not seem like a big deal, but I've been hiding safely behind my stability of one single avatar for a while....

For you see, I have a deep dark secret, if unchecked I become that person who changes their avatar at any provocation... I'm a little addicted to finding ones I like. I hope I will not sink back into my bad habit again...

Alright, so I was indulging in one of my favorite online activities, lurking, when I came across "The Anonymous Feedback Meme" on LJ. As they put it on the site:"Ever wonder if people are holding back from telling you what they really think of your writing?
It’s often hard to leave feedback in a public forum without censoring ourselves, or being afraid of offending somebody."

I thought my fellow Ochibans (Ochiba-goers?) might want to give this a peek.

So... I am turning my story "The Fohn in my Mind" into a novel-thingy (as I write, as you read. The word doc is open and I am cursing my lack of fore planning). I hate noveling.

Anyway, as for updates online, I'm at an impasse. I'm cutting a lot of things out, putting a lot of things in, moving things around, blah, blah, blah, blah. So obviously, I will be writing chapters, but I doubt they will make as much sense. Scratch that, I know they won't make much sense. Its just that I am far too lazy to write two different versions of every chapter...

And, I'm just not sure I want this thing out on the web. It may take over a year for me to finish this thing, and I pretty much know that if it does get published it wont be published for years after that... but still. I can just see it in my head. But I love having feedback and having people watch it grow, and I seriously doubt it would be published anyway. Urhg.

In any case, I'll put the next few chapters up, see how I'm doing, talk to my writing buddies...
