It feels like a cop out, but I've lost my inspiration with the story. I feel so guilty but I at least want people to see how I intended to end it (I think it's a good ending, lol).

It's a public entry, so anyone can go read it who wants to. It's going to be three chapters and chapter one is up now. Let me know what you think ^_^ http://maxiekatt2.livejournal.com/43909.html

I know; it sucks, because you're so enthusastic at the start ... will have to start a thread later. Anyway, if you haven't been by, Maxie did a great job, as she always does.
	Go, then; there are other worlds than these. If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be.

"This is good." It's like I never left, lol.
