You know, one of the hardest things about being a writer is coming up with an original idea. While it’s true that there are technically no NEW ideas (after thousands of years of stories, they’ve all been used), you can combine unoriginal ideas in such a way that it’s original. For example, in Fablehaven the author took the idea of the classical fairy tale creatures living among us (a very overused idea), and combined it with the idea of a magical preserve. While you can argue that this has been done before, it still FELT original (to me at least).

Well, writing is suddenly easy again, and I’ve been getting a lot of work done. I’ve started on a new short story, and even have managed to get a great deal of the buffer for Myriad Souls done (yay for no more late Myriad Soul episodes). I’m really excited about writing, especially Myriad Souls. So, expect a lot of new content to show up this month! I found out why I kept getting sick, have fixed the problem, so I’m sure that my regained skills will stay. Make sure to check back every couple of days, and don’t forget to look every Saturday for a new episode of Myriad Souls. I’m even going to start writing regularly in my blog. (wow amazing. He’s actually going to provide something for us to stave off our boredom on a regular basis). However, a good author knows how to be brief and shut up for the sake of brevity, so I bid you farewell.

By the way, I’ve discovered that SlimFasts make great snacks, especially when writing. Gotta love that fake chocolate flavor. Ok, now I’m really done.

Now that all the hectic stuff like finals and getting surgery are done with, I have much more time for writing. True, I probably could have gotten a lot of writing done just after surgery, but I was in no state to write. However, I didn’t waste the time, I came up with ideas for stories (both Myriad Souls and other projects), as well as came up with a plan of action for getting back on schedule. I added progress bars so you can track my current projects.

There are times in life where you realize just how good you used to have it. There is a magical moment where your bubble is popped, and life really sucks for a while. This moment just barely came for me. I was given surgery on my toe to remove a needle, and now it hurts like it is burning in all the fires of heck if I move it more than a few inches. It’s getting better, but it is a moment where I appreciate much more a life without a very annoying left big toe.

Well, due to finals, I was unable to write Myriad Souls E2 on time. Normally, I will have a 3 episode “buffer” in case of events like this, but finals didn’t allow me to write this either. I promise this it the ONLY time this will ever happen.

I am advertising to help us gain visibility, as well as producing multiple stories for the site. I forgot to announce it, but the first Episode of Myriad Souls (link) was released. Also, once finals are over, I’ll resume posting in my blog. I hope you enjoy the first episode of Myriad Souls!

Hello again. Now that I’ve gotten my computer working again, I’m kicking my writing back into full gear. Myriad Souls Episode One is ready to be posted, and will be up on Saturday. If any of you were keeping up with my site, I am sorry for the delays, but I promise there will be some stories and other content up soon!

There is one very annoying thing about having a life: it gets in the way. Often you have great plans for what you’re going to accomplish, projects you’re going to complete…but then nothing happens. This is especially true when you’re no longer in high school. When I was still in high school, I had so much more free time. There weren’t countless social events sapping my time, and the homework was easier. Ever since I moved to collage, I’ve had little time for my hobbies.

The content of this site will all be delayed. My computer with the stories I was finishing broke, and I won’t have acces to it for a few weeks. I also won’t have much inet access, so the site will be at a standstill for a week or two.
