...who can't write.

Not that kind of can't write, but the physically improbable kind of can't write. There's no more annoying feeling that the desire to write with no means to do so. It's like: "Oh, here's this AMAZING idea for you to use in your story. Oh, can't write? That's too bad. I guess I'll just fly away with this idea now, never to be seen again."

Irritating, I tell you.

What day is it... or month, really? August? AUGUST?!

Holy crap... Okay, I can fix this...

Uh... hey, fellas. How you doing? Good? That's... good.

Look, I know it's been a while since I've last written anything, and I'm pretty sure you've forgotten about either me or any story I was writing. So, I'm not... really sure where I was going with that.

I was never good at keeping presents away from people. Every Christmas, if I had gotten a present for someone, it would nag at me. Thus, I would wait until the day before to buy them so it wouldn't bother me. As such, this "finishing everything on the list and then posting it all at once" thing is making me crazy.

So, I would like to present (ha) you guys with both the next chapter of As My World Burns and the new story When Steam Reigns! Have an early link to the story until it's approved.

Do you remember that list I gave in a previous blog post? The one where I didn't know what I wanted to do? Well, you're probably aware of one of those things happening, since I posted As My World Burns. What you don't know, is what my plans are now. Here's what I'm working on now:

*Rewrite CoSh Ch.2 (just revising the introductions of the insane ponies)
*Write CoSh Ch.3
*Write AMWB Ch.2 (Complete)

As My World Burns



Slice of Life

Read More

It should be a tag.

That is all. You can go back to what you were doing now. Or, if you want to hear my well thought out reasoning, read on!

So you have your dark and your comedy. Your sad and slice of life. Got the tragedy and adventure, right? And some others, too, but those don't need mentioning (*cough*human*cough*) because you know them all by now and this intro is getting too long. Now, you'd think that would be enough, but there's one missing: mystery.

Though, to be perfectly honest, it's a zombie-like state of living. I haven't been writing, only reading, and my oh my have I found some sub-par stuff.

That's not to say it's bad. I've just been cynical about it all. "Oh, that doesn't flow well. Oh, that could have been worded to make more sense. Wow, that's a lot of telling. Man, can't this guy figure out how to use a comma? Would it kill the guy to put some description in his story? This is all dialogue! Jeez, this dialogue is bland."

If any of y'all enjoy playing chess, I've made an account on Chess.com under the same name: StapleCactus. Come one and all, let us battle in a game of wits (and possibly force me into writing CoSh or some other story you want (maybe)).

No, this is not a thinly veiled attempt at getting the motivation to write through losing at one of my favorite games; this is a blatant attempt.

So, as some of you are aware (because you most likely showed up because of Enfan), I lost my internet connection since Monday. Well, I'm live again and I just wanted to share with you a bit of insight I just had.

I've been gone since Monday and do you know how many chapters I missed for editing? One.

One chapter, since Monday.

Hey.

Hey.

How you do?

What the heck happened to me, huh?

This is horrible. Just look at this: an editor for two guys who are up to their eyeballs in stories, and I can't even do one?

What happened?

I'm sorry.

I'm so so so sorry.

I just...

There are no words...

I'll get back into this; I mean it.

Sorry.
