No, Zero isn’t dead. What happened was a few days ago I went to write the new Zero segment, and ended up writing on my novel all night. So, for the past few days, that’s what I’ve been doing…pushing forward with my novel. I realize it short changes you, but, hey, what can I really do? The other thing delaying Zero is that I might have suddenly decided I wanted the story to go another way. My original plan was for a character to die at the end of the first act, and then the story move forward at a breakneck pace. Instead, I think I’m going to take this down a darker road. Give me another day or so to think it out, and then you’ll have another segment online.
Once Zero is finished, you can expect me to return to writing funny features. I’m going to have a lot more free time this semester than last, and I plan to use it.
