Posting my update! =)

So I've actually been busy, *Gasp*. Mostly damage control, Anna read this blog; suffice to say she wasn't pleased. So after a long chat about what I've really been up to over the past few months, we're better off. In fact she was the one who suggested I update the blog.

Okay, so another issue right now is University. I know that I have beyond slim chances of getting into University this year considering that I failed Physics. I've been leaving it up to fate to decree whether or not I make it in this year, but move in is next week; and I believe classes are too. My admission is still tentative, waiting on my physics mark to be finalized so they can consider it. I really should just email the lady back and tell her the truth, but maybe I'll get lucky...

Move in day is on Monday, yeah its that close. If I somehow get in, I'd have to pack up everything really soon; but if I don't... well I have a lot of other things to worry about. Such as getting in for next year. But this means I might lose Kaitlyn forever.

Anyways, I know I haven't posted Ch2, I've been immensely busy and will get on that really soon. It'll be done by tomorrow most likely. Just to let you guys know, the chapter is about going to DH High, meeting Dawn; and also the first day of classes.

Also I've been getting questions on just how long the story will be. The story will be long, I have divided the story into 3 parts. These cover Ben's high school year. Each Part will have 10 or more chapters (probably more) but less than 30.

For those of you wondering what will happen to Ben after High School? You'll just have to wait and see, I have nothing planned out. Currently I have all 3 parts roughly sketched, but only Ch2 fully developed ready for print. I have work soon, so I'll end this hear.

Til next time!

Mind is shutting down.

First thing I want to say before we start, apparently 5 of you think I'm a pedophile if I say hello; so don't expect me to talk to anyone anymore... just kidding. The most interesting part I found was that 7 of you voted, so I blame it on people who cheated and voted more than once or Google spy robots.

Next Chapter 2 is going to be a little delayed because my mind has been recently melting for no reason. I honestly can't remember much anymore, it all seems so hazy. I can barely remember living at my parents, living with Anna. When I will my mind to think of something it just seems to melt and give me nothing. So, while I have an outline ready for Chapter 2, I don't expect it to come out at the rate I've been doing them. I however will at least TRY to get it out by the end of Sunday.

Another note, I'd like to thank you guys for leaving comments; I love them. I too am happy that I'm in a better mood these days when writing. Although I'm still kind of gloom and doom when I'm by myself. Also, saying that my life is often better than TV is a really nice complement. Thank you.

Hopefully work refreshes my mind, since I'm going back tomorrow.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm getting a bunch of other problems too, all which started today. I'm barely hungry, I ordered a pizza and 10 wings today. I ate 3 slices and 6 wings only, since I got it at noon. So like 1 slice and 2 wings a meal. Wow. Also I'm tired constantly, like unbelievably tired; but I can't sleep. I do get my 8 hours but I can't sleep. It should also tie in with this, I also managed to lose nearly all the muscle mass I had on myself; and now don't have the energy to do anything.

Lets hope for a miracle. It seems like all I'm doing these days is hoping.
Maybe its time to consider that University really wasn't in my reach this year... and plan for next year.
Or maybe, I'll try a new approach and hope my 'luck' pulls me through.

Two posts in one day? OMFG

I decided to write another post for a few reasons. One, I got my responses back for Ch1 and I wanted to talk about it. Two, there is really nothing for me to do; time moves by so slowly. Three, I feel good dununununununun.

So, that aside my first piece of news is about my freshly released First Draft Chapter 1. I am so surprised, and SO pleased to say that all went well! I got word back from my pre-readers and barely anything was knocked on. Just some clarity issues. Also, a good point came from Nathan that the characters don't really have faces. Its true, I've been shying away from character descriptions. But, I really should try harder to give them faces.

This first draft has turned out so well that I am forced to delay a second draft until after I complete Part I. There just simply isn't enough that needs to be changed yet. After a few chapters I'm sure we'll find more to add, remove, edit.

Besides writing today I've been fairly focused on video games. I'm really getting bored with games, I really feel like I should have something else to do. I searched through steam today trying to find something I might want to play on PC. After hours of searching, I found Splinter Cell; all my life I've heard about it from Lyndsey, and others but I never played it. Then I realized I had the Conviction demo on my Xbox. I played it and I must say, it is REALLY awesome.

Other than that, all I have to really say is. I really need to go outside.

OH YEAH, I completely forgot but about a month ago I got a credit card, Yay! Now I can pay for things above $100!
