    A Request

    Hey guys, I'm so glad to finally get Flesh Masks completed. That was one heck of a fun ride. Although now I do have a favor to ask of you all.

    Summer Issues

    I'm happy to say that the familial issues that have been plaguing me lately are clearing up. My grandmother, who suffered a small stroke a few weeks ago, is almost completely recovered and is hell bent on trying to Mission Impossible (not kidding) her way out of the rehab center. Though while that's wrapping up, my college summer programming course is deciding to pile on the fun. After only just

    Why won't this dang thing work?

    Hey guys, I'm writing this in the hopes that you'll understand and take pity on me. Neither I nor Flesh Masks is dead, obviously. I know it's been FOREVER since the last chapter, and I am extremely sorry about that. In truth, pretty much the entirety of the showdown with the Red King is already written, but it's little more than a bunch of disjointed scenes. All the stuff's there, every buck,

A third down vote? NOOOOO!

Hehe, but no seriously it's all good.

The next chapter is wrapping up nicely, should just be a little while longer. It's just that my professors all think I'm Twilight and keep giving me assignment after assignment and test after test, while all I want to do is write my story! ... Sorry lost my train of thought. But yeah I'm not being lazy (on purpose) and I shall keep working to please my readers.

Fun Fact: I did a little research and apparently Flesh Masks is around the right length for an actual novel. To be classified as a novel a story has to have a minimum of 50k words, but 100k-120k is the sweet spot for a new author's novel. Too much more text then the cost of publication is a little too high for a new author, though the more established an author is the more text he can get away with. Maybe I should take a creative writing class.

I would offer to do your work for school since; as of today, I am no longer going.:ajsleepy: But I know that is frowned upon in most schools so I won't.
