Motivated by the realization that I've only got about two weeks until I'm cut off from the internet for two years, I've picked up the work on what I'm calling The Business of Murder: Reloaded. So far, I haven't used anything from the original FlashFic. I mean, the story is essentially the same, but I'm not copying and pasting here.
I'm about a third of the way done. I have six scenes planned, and I've written the second and the fourth (not really going in any specific order. The fifth is probably next). Both of those scenes are about 1250 words, so the grand total should be somewhere around 7500, meaning this'll be the longest thing I've ever written. As I was discussing with Wolfrug, I'm missing FFM this year (and next), so maybe this can count for at least some of it?

It's me again.
Well.
It's been a while.
And I'm talking to empty space. Or, at least, I imagine I am.
Let's start again.

Nearly two-and-a-half years ago, on June 26th, I logged out of dA for what I knew would be the last time in a while. For that, and for other reasons, my heart was a bit heavy. The next day, I bid goodbye to my family (my sister first, since she had to catch classes. That stung a bit), and embarked on a two-year journey of sacrifice and self-discovery.
All I'll say about this journey is that it was a mission for the LDS Church to the Jacksonville, Florida area. If you're curious, send me a message. If not, we'll let it be.

Finished
Well, it is done. I went on a writing spree tonight and finished the last 3 sections of The Business of Murder, Reloaded. I've sent it to a few close people for feedback, but it should be up for everyone at the end of the week. It comes in at a whopping 7,112 words, fewer than I'd originally estimated but still over 7.5 times as long as the original (at 937).
Thanks again for all the support for this piece and my other work.

Update
Well, after missing my laptop for most of the week, I was finally able to sit down and get more done on BoM:R. The results? Another 300 words or so added to an old section, plus a new scene that stretched over 1500 words. So, now, at the halfway point, we're up to around 4,200. How much of this escapes editing, we shall see.
What's going down.
So, I'll preface this by saying I feel a bit sheepish. I got a lot of new followers after The Business of Murder got a DD, and between then and now I've put up very little, literature or otherwise. So, sorry about that. College gets busy.
And unfortunately, the future's not going to be too full of stuff either. In less than a month, I'll be embarking on something that means I won't have access to a computer for two years. Some of you might know what I'm talking about, but I don't feel like elaborating. So, in short, this page is about to get very, very dusty.
As for the time in between then and now, I'm not really sure. I just sent up a new
