I HAVEN'T UPDATED THIS IN THREE YEARS. So yeah, real life got in the way. But long story short, I got that job I had posted about, and it's been going great! As for Brotherhood, NEW TITLE! It's now called Lucid Storm, and I'm still working on it. About to start working on chapter 11 now; I've started chapter 9 but got writer's block on that one, so I outlined the rest of that one along with chapter 10.

So that being said, I'm really going to try to update this a bit more often. Bear with me guys!

Okay so far it's been a pretty good day! Sure, it's early morning over here, but who cares about that? As long as I feel good about myself, it's all good, right? Idk man, whatever.

I feel slightly better about getting Ren's chapter done. I've just been getting anxious because this semester so many people are submitting pieces to be workshopped at a really fast rate. Like Professor Alley opened the first packet the very first day of class. Next class, 20 people have already submitted. Like WHAT THE HELLLLL, this wasn't at all like last semester where it took several days to even just get one or two pieces into that first packet.

People are just really fast in this class, which is the opposite of me, because it takes me a while (typically) to get one chapter done, but then again it all depends on my level of motivation. There have been times where I've been able to get chapters done in one day, but that doesn't happen often. I wish I could go back to getting a chapter done a week, like back at JMU. I had a pretty good system going on back then, it was great. Of course, it's easier said than done since now I make OP graphics, and that takes up some time. Also, I'm still trying to look for a job, bc if I'm going to move into that condo with Miz, I have to REALLY get on the ball.

Well whatever. Professor Alley said to take my time on it. He knows how I write, and he also said he'll let me go ahead and workshop right away as soon as I get my excerpt posted, so that's good. I won't have to wait at least.

Alright ANYWAY. That's enough from me right now, I've gotta finish updating the google docs page for Ren's chapter before class.

OH and you know what? I just realized something. I can make things SO MUCH EASIER on myself if I just cut out the part with Heng that I originally had planned at the end of Ren's chapter. I mean sure, it'd be pretty cool and interesting to have it, but what I liked about her chapter in the original draft was that I left the chapter open-ended. Like, it kind of ends on a cliffhanger, and you know that something fishy is going on. I should just do that here! And then like during Cho's next chapter, SHE GETS KNOCKED OUT. So that'll add to the suspense!

Shit I think I've got this now. Early morning drives after class sure do help.

Okay, I am seriously proud of myself right now. I've actually gotten back into writing, and I think the new year has helped with that A LOT. Technically I've already finished two chapters (the Prologue and then chapter 1), and I did it ALL in ONE WEEKEND. That never happens to me because it usually takes me a while to get just one chapter finished, so this is a good thing for me!

Now onto chapter 2!
