Ok, want to piss me off? Change my avatar to reflect something I dislike greatly. dA, seriously? Why is my avatar changed from the one I've had for the last five years to that of a shirtless Taylor Lautner. I don't even like Twilight. And if I had to choose between Team Jacob and Team Edward? Sorry, I'm a vampire person...even if it is a wimpy vampire.

CHANGE MY AVATAR BACK dA!!

I don't know that I could find the old one again...


EDIT: Just saw the date....and realized what's going on. Not cool dA...not cool at all

So I've been bitten by the writing bug again, this time pretty hard. I've actually taken steps to better my situation in that area by talking to an established author. I won't name any names but he's definitely one of if not my favorite authors and he's given me some good advice. He told me to go back to the beginning, revisit the old stories I loved writing and to get back into that mindset. He also taught me to dissect books, not in the way that you would in a typical English class, rather in the way that an author may have written it. So right now I'm in the process of dissecting the first book of his I ever read, and once Ive outlined ever word of that masterpiece, I'll be returning to H.S. 187. It's been at least 5 years since I wrote that story and honestly it was rushed. I've reread it a couple times over the years and there were certain parts that have just continued to bother me. So hopefully within the coming months you'll see some indications from me that I've returned to my original work, to make it worth being read by a publisher....and who knows...maybe next year it will be in Barnes & Noble and you all can read the full version and tell me what you think. But for now, as always, this is just talk. Anyone who has followed me over the years knows how I lose my drive pretty quickly, mostly because I get discouraged thinking that I'm wasting my time. I know that that is my greatest weakness now....hopefully I'll overcome it this time.

Hoping that you'll hear from me soon,

I've been working on a new story. It's called Shadow of the Mind. I plan to make this a full length novel, but we know how my previous attempts have turned out. Two submissions up. More on the way.

Wow, it's been a really long time. Two years actually. To any of you that still have me watched, I thank you. Was really weird how I found this. I was talking to my friend Bryan that I technically live with at college and for some reason my story H. S. 187 popped into my head and I Googled it cause I couldn't remember my username. So I found it without much difficulty and just guessed on the password. First try and I was back in. Well hopefullyI'll start picking up the pen again. Maybe submit a few new things...who knows...anyway, if any of my old friends are still here, let me know.

~Friday~

I actually still consider this Thursday.....just really late....anyway..

I must say i love this new layout...when i logged in earlier today i'm pretty sure my eyes were raped by it....speaking of my eyes...i might need to get glasses soon which is gonna suck ...

anyway... i'm letting people know that some more stories are in the works although i tend to procrastinate a lot and i'm not quite sure when they'll be done...could take a while...but i actually have an editor now so hopefully there won't be any major screw ups in the writing and it'll sound better....i also have a cover illustrator lined up once it's done....speaking of which i need to upload the cover for H.S 187.....'cause that's one thing i don't like about the new layout..that they show the text right on the picture for it on the profile page...it'll take some getting used to i guess...

well i'm off to write some more before bed...
