New Laptop!

I have wonderful news! I finally got my new laptop all sorted out and it's purring like a kitten! I'm very happy with it! =)

I also have everything from my old laptop which means I can continue from where I left off with no problem.

But one problem...

I've tallied up the votes and the vote for the continuation of vampire lord blows the competition out of the water. Which sucks for me because I actually really don't want to continue it any further. So instead I've decided on a comprise with all of you.

I'm going to do a revote, this time one without the option for the vampire lord. because the truth is I'm not sure I have the state of mind for it. BUT! That doesn't mean I won't write about it. instead, as I work on another series of your choice, I'll continue writing for the vampire lord just at a slower pace. So instead of having eight chapters of vampire lord a month, you may only get one or two with a bulk drop on its anniversary and Christmas. Or maybe not, maybe, knowing me, I'll try and force my way through the end just to get it out of the way, who knows at this point?

with that in mind, I want suggestions from all of you on what you want to see in the vampire lord. I've drawn up a quick one-half-page paragraph on my end of an ending. I at first wanted to have a never-ending story and have Van go on an epic adventure into nations unknown. but perhaps that was too ambitious of me. So instead I've decided to end things sooner. don't get me wrong, there will probably still be about fifty or more chapters left to write before the series ends so I'm not exactly going to end it abruptly. I want to leave it at a good point where maybe one day I'll be able to pick it back up again if I ever feel it, but still with a semi-satisfying conclusion. So any Ideas on your end will help pad things out and maybe remind me of things I have to add, maybe even making the inevitable end last just a little bit longer.

In conclusion, I'll put out the list of story options again this Wednesday. you'll all have until Saturday to vote. I'll then get to work on the new story. it may take me two to four weeks before I post the first chapter so please be patient with me. and for those still with me despite all this, words cannot describe my heartfelt feelings. This might seem a little unfair, but I really feel like I need to start a new book if I want to improve as a writer, with a new series that I might have passion for or to at least rekindle it. but if your decision is firm, I'll add a none option at the end of the list... if the majority chooses it, then I'll do everything in my power to continue writing the vampire lord to completion, my promise to all of you.

anyway, all my love my dudes. thanks for everything and for sticking with me to the end, you're the reason why I continue writing, never forget that. =)
