                <description><![CDATA[ I hate DA sometimes. Okay, let's be fair...a lot of times. Why in the hell is the upload size for TEXT only 64 or so kb? What the hell is that?! I can't even upload one of my stories for you guys to tide you over a bit because it's 4kb over the limit. FOUR. K. B. Do they not take into account the fact that people want to actually write longer stories and not simple odds and ends sometimes? I'm still irked more than enough that they made me butcher Redemption into several parts. It wasn't as bad, considering each part was near equal in length, but I hate doing stupid crap like that. So, what the hell am I suppose to do with an additional 4kb? Post the story then post the ending??? I refuse to hack it into two parts for their lazy and stupid processes. I've tried various ways of cutting it down a bit but none of it works. I might have to go find another site that's actually has a reasonable upload size for TEXT. It's fracking text, so what's the big damn deal over making the upload so horribly small? Oh, sure, I could upload an html format...but why? It's just text and if they upped the upload of text to just 1mb then everything would be better. Redemption was over 300kb so it would take a bit to hit that 1mb mark if they did it.<br /><br />Ugh, I'm just venting out my frustration with this site. It just really irks me with stupid things like this that have no reason at all to be like this. Why don't they just limit the amount of uploads you can make to 12? Same damn thing, right? Well, I'll still be here but I'm going to really start looking for a better upload site. Maybe even have one of my own so you people don't have to dredge through all the meaningless crap on here just to get some simple satisfaction of escaping reality for a bit. I'll keep you updated! Here's hoping I find something better or they fix things on here quick.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It is now time for Retribution.<br /><br />Yes, I am still alive and I know I haven't been writing pretty much at all for a while. Well, inspiration hit me hard yesterday and I did a bit of research. If you can't tell what I'm aiming to write then I won't spoil it for you too much. I will give hint, though. Demons never rest.<br /><br />I've been busy with lots of odds and ends for a while and actually working to try and get a gaming review site up of my own if I can manage it with friends. One in particular whom gave me the idea. I think it'd be a great idea and fun. Already have a couple reviews written up too!<br /><br />No idea how long it will take me to write my story but don't expect it immediately. I will be updating you all that care on the progress being made. Hope those of you who have been keeping tabs on me as much as possible and checking here regularly, I thank you. Until the next update, which may even be a small story if I can, keep a positive outlook!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, now I know I haven't been updating at all for...a long while. I am terribly sorry about that but I haven't given up writing just to let you all know! The winter season didn't seem to kick me into gear but various friends and such have given me new inspiration and got my brain kicking again. My new zombie story isn't moving much but I have been thinking of completely rewriting what I had done for Biocide and revising Redemption. It's nice to get some good feedback on my writing and constructive criticism. So I've decided I need to write a horror story to get my juices pumping and the like. A few ideas and some partially completed stories are strewn about me so I have some choices.<br /><br />In other news, been playing a lot of games and watching movies. Inspiration is seeping in slowly from it all. I don't exactly know what else to announce about myself here other than telling you to get to know me. You will eventually see a story up here soon. Maybe even sooner! I apologize for not keeping on the up and up with everyone but other things did get in the way for a while. For those still bearing with me, thank you. I know you would like to see something new from me and I hope to give you something by the end of March. Yes, it is a while to wait but I hope it'll be worth it.<br /><br />Just be patient, please!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I won't be appearing in Tabloid Purposes V as had I planned.  Too many personal issues arose and I just didn't have the time to work on any stories once the deadline was given to me.  But that's alright, I needed a little break from being in the previous four books though and I am still writing.  What personal issues?  Nothing emo or lame, I promise you that much.  I had a death in the family, my grandad.  He was 84 years old and had a couple strokes the weeks prior, caught pneumonia, lost most of his motor abilities, and just wasn't having much luck.  I went to his funeral over the weekend and did my best to try and keep my mind off things.  He'll be missed.<br /><br />Stories are going a little slower from all that but I've been reading a few things lately to try and pick up the pace for you all.  I thank you all for being so patient with me, for I know how annoying it can be for me to put up updates with no new stories in months now.  Trust me, I will have a new story up soon!  Halloween is coming up and that will get my juices flowing for sure!  Winter is just around the bend and that will just kick me into overdrive I hope!  Keep checking here after a while!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yeah, I've started writing a bit once again.  Not a whole lot but definately more than enough to post a new journal and update you all on it.  As for life, it's kinda at an inbetween stage.  Good and bad news abound for you in this journal.  Yes, I am writing.  No, I have not completed a story yet.  Yes, I plan to.  No, I don't know when.  As for my life?  Well, my grand dad had a second stroke recently and broke his hip then caught pnuemonia (sp?).  He's doing a lot better now though so that's good.  Not really sure what else to tell you guys about right now.  Like I said, I'm kinda inbetween things right now.  I'll inform you more once I finish a story or something though, so don't worry!  Until then, would anybody be willing to be in the next Dr. Casey installment?  Seems I can only bring out stories easier when I write a Dr. Casey piece.  So leave a comment if you want in, or not.  Not twisting your arm.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright everyone! Good news all around! Got my 360 back from the repairs and it's even better than ever! While I was waiting on my 360 I picked up the Watchmen graphic novel, finding the trailer to the new movie very wicked. Well, after finishing the book I have to say I was simply astonished at how I could have skipped over it ever. One of the best reads ever and I'm not sure the movie will be able to capture everything that the graphic novel had that made it so epic. If you ever have a chance to read it I would highly recommend that you pick it up and don't skip a single word in it! Other news, I think my inspiration might be returning slowly but surely! My submission for the new Tabloid Purposes is probably 1/5 done, which I agree, isn't much at the moment, but it'll get there! That's all for now but I'll keep you updated if things change!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, now I haven't been writing pretty much at all, as you can see.  My 360 screwed itself over in the most harsh way I could think of.  I got the damn RRoD.  Don't know what it is then look it up.  I'll be sending the thing in for "repairs" but apparently I won't know where or anything until they send me the e-mail they said they would.  I would give you hope and let you think this might bring me around and make me write once more.  Sadly, after all that's happened after the damn thing messed up I just don't want to bother with much.  That's all, sad story, blah blah.  I know these updates are less and less fun to read.  Sorry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I know I haven't been writing much for a while now but the heat never helps me be creative.  Thus why I want to move to Alaska.  Anyway, I seem to be edging into my little creative corner again but very slowly.  Sorry for making you all wait for something new to read but I hate summer.  Always have.  The heat makes me lazy, which makes me unable to think clearly, which in turn causes me to be a slob on my writing.  I'm still working on the new Tabloid Purposes V story which I feel bad about but I'll get it done soon enough.  There's going to be a day where I sit down and just churn that baby right out!  Got some new inspiration coursing through me so that'll help a ton!  This was just an update on my writing status to let you all know I'm still here and still planning on more stories to come!  Maybe I'll bring up a review of movies this summer that I saw and/or liked once it's over?  Dunno, just feel like giving you all something to read even if it is sorta mindless.  Take care!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...as in...my brain.  What did you think I meant?  Anyways, I haven't been writing nearly as much as I wanted lately but I've started to do a little at least and come up with, yes, more ideas.  I've started two stories, one of which won't be posted here at all since it's for Tabloid Purposes V...if I can finish it in time!  Then there's my killer mannequin story and just recently a Silent Hill fanfic that I HAVE started.  Working out kinks in things is growing old but I guess I'll grow old with them since I love doing that.  As for how far along the stories are?  Uh...rather not say.  You'll see them when I post them if you're watching me, and if I know you then I'll tell you like the good and attention needing friend I am.<br /><br />Been playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 lately as well.  Very fun game!  It was nice to get back into a first person shooter after Call of Duty 4's constant cheap tactic n00bs.  Also recently got a new PC game, courtesy of <a href="http://mercthefavorite.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmercthefavorite:" title="mercthefavorite"/></a>, called Sins of a Solar Empire which is a wicked RTS that has so much junk to do in that even me, someone with ADD (to an extent, don't judge), can't even keep track of it all.  The matches can last anywhere from an hour or so...to way longer.  Conquer planets, build fleets, annihilate space pirates, it's awesome.  Haven't been playing Pirates lately which I feel bad for but I can always start that back up sometime and continue it later.<br /><br />Books...hm.  Well, haven't really been reading too much lately either, which could be a clue as to why my inspiration is sapped so easily.  I have shelves upon shelves of Stephen King books I need to read and such.  Just give me time, dammit!  Can't do everything at once.<br /><br />I would go into movies but then this journal be pretty boring, if it hasn't been already.  So, I'll leave you on this mark and let you do your best to inspire me if you can!  Have fun and..stuff!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, as you know, I've been trying to work on bringing up knew stories and the like for all you wonderful readers.  I am apparently stuck in a tough spot at the moment though.  No, nothing is wrong really, I just can't seem to write more than one story at a time.  Otherwise I usually get sidetracked and so on and so forth.  I am about a fourth into a new story for you all to read and also currently trying to think of an idea to write for the new Tabloid Purposes theme.  As for the new idea?  No clue yet, for I can't think of a good cyber punk theme.  I just need a nice story to work into the theme but everything I think of seems too obvious or leads to a dead end.  I wouldn't mind listening to other people's ideas and maybe work off of that.  I need to think of some kind of horror to mingle with it and basically dominate the hell out of it too.  Oh well, I'll think of something, I know that much.<br /><br />As for the rest of my life?  It's going great!  Been relaxing and watching various movies to catch up on for hopes of inspiration and play a few new games that have come out such as Devil May Cry 4.  Speaking of games, I can't wait two more weeks for Rainbow Six Vegas 2.  It's going to be off the chain!  I Am Legend and The Mist come to dvd in a few weeks as well, which both are so worth the buy.<br /><br />Anything else new?  Kinda.  In a way.  But I won't bore you with more rambling!  So have fun and check back sometime later this month for a new story hopefully!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy birthday, happy birthday.  To me.  Yes, my birthday has passed a couple days ago and I am now twenty-two years into the future.  Or whatever.  Not much else to really talk about since everybody has a birthday.  Though, it's small moments like these where you really look at yourself in new ways, whether they be physically or mentally.  Just today I noticed I had slight crow's feet at the corners of my eyes.  I was told it showed I was wise, which I guess is alright, but it also shows I smile a lot.<br /><br />Recently saw Cloverfield, twice.  It was so awesome that I can't describe it...even if it wasn't awesome I still couldn't describe it other than people run around and scream and die and there's a monster.  Seriously, go see it!  Stay until after the credits too, there's a neat little thing.<br /><br />Speaking of movies, this summer is packed with a ton of good ones to see, main one being Dark Knight.  Yes, I know, Heath Ledger is dead.  I won't dwell on that since everyone else is.  Other movies such as Hellboy II, Ironman, and Jumper look very awesome as well.  Those aren't all but I won't ramble.<br /><br />My writing is stuck from severe writer's block.  I keep getting the urge to write but it leaves so fast I can't even get up to get my pad and pen.  Don't worry though, if I can't write something new in February then I'll post my story I planned on saving for print only.  Oh yes, speaking of my writing, I have been asked by my niece from her teacher to be guest speaker for her class.  She mentioned I have been published in four books and I guess that was something special.  I might end up doing it even though I don't do well in talking front of groups of people but I could manage.  Hell, I could shoot some publicity towards the Tabloid Purposes series and such.  Very awesome thought.<br /><br />I guess that's all for now, just check up monthly or bi-weekly for updates, even if it's just a journal entry.  Who knows what fun bits of info and such I might hold.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year!  I'm feeling pretty good about everything nowadays.  I know I said I would have posted a new story a week or so ago but I talked to my publisher and got to thinking.  I won't be posting every story on DA now, for I plan on saving some to be print exclusive.  As for what stories WILL be posted here?  Well, firstly the last installment to Inevitability, when I get it done, then some random ones I'll choose.  I got one I do wish to post here when I finish writing it for I think it's time for a change of pace in my style and genre.  Not a permanent one but a rest from all my horror and insanity.  More...action oriented with a bit of humor.  No, I don't know why the idea came to me but it did and I will be continuing the story I started for such a thing.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking of sending a couple stories to other places for publishing but only after I have some very great friends edit them.  I've been seeing movies to spur my inspiration lately as well such as I Am Legend, The Mist, and Sweeney Todd.  All of which are a great watch!  I Am Legend is tops in my book, pretty different from the book but close enough with that present day feel.<br />
<br />
Not sure what else to post here other than that I'm still working on things and such.  Well, I'll let you get back to what you need to!  Make this year a great one for yourself!!!  Woo!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, as you know, I haven't been writing much.  Blame it on the weather here mostly, folks.  It's winter it isn't nearly as cold as I like it.  My writing mood kicks in during those cold dark nights where I spend hours upon hours typing out stories for all you to read.  I have been writing but not doing the long sittings of such that I need to.  Since my girlfriend left me I've been in a bit of a stump but not nearly out of depression.  It's purely coincidence since I'm not all depressed over the whole ordeal.  Why am I telling you this?  Cause I want you to know, folks.  It happened a few months ago and blah blah I know you don't want the whole story.<br />
<br />
I will be posting a new story up more than likely within the next couple weeks so yay!  I've had some great friends help me keep my chin up and I thank you all, you know who you are.  As I think I stated last journal, I am going to make an exclusive story to Tabloid Purposes V when the guidelines are posted and such so go out and buy the books!  If you were curious about my last exclusive story I'll let you in on a fun fact.  It was a continuation of Distilled Thoughts of a Dangerous Mind.<br />
<br />
Here's something that might interest a very select couple of you.  I plan on rewriting my novella Biocide soon.  Awesome, yes?  Once I manage to do quite a few more stories I also plan on printing my own book with exclusive stories in it you won't find here!  Also, don't ask me to send the exclusive stories to you either once I do so, I rather just let you be surprised with them when I do it.<br />
<br />
Christmas is getting real close and it seems that since my break-up the months have just flown by.  I should tell you now instead of when you ask but there will be no new Dr. Casey stories for a while now.  I need to get some serious writing done for now but don't worry.  I am thinking of doing more photo comics for you guys and gals though.<br />
<br />
I recently went and saw The Mist which was off the chain!  Seriously, if you want a good movie to see right this second then The Mist is it!  I can't wait for I Am Legend since Will Smith is a total bad ass and German Shepards are awesome dogs.  I want one.  Seriously though, the story is so great it'd be hard to screw the movie up without making it a completely different story altogether.<br />
<br />
Anyway, there have been quite a few things that have made me so happy in the last few months that I can't begin to tell them all.  I'll just save you all my rambling and say I hope you all get some awesome snow this winter!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Woo, so, it was quite a month last month I think.  Going to a Hallow's Eve party, which was actually pretty boring, seeing some movies I've been putting off for no reason, talking to some new friends, writing...yeah, kinda random stuff.  So I noticed not many of my friends have been up to the task of even calling me lately so I went out of my to make a couple more.  Anyways, it's been fun!  As for what I've been writing?  That ranges a bit, I started a new story about three friends who open up their own bounty division and I'm trying to come up for an idea for the new Tabloid Purposes, number V.  It's going to be cyberpunk inspired so I need to do something of that caliber.  Don't worry everyone, I'll think of something.  Oh, and it'll be exclusive to TPV like that last one was unless I know you and you ask...nicely.  Been playing a good amount of games, mainly Battlefield 2142 and Pirates of the Caribbean Online.  If you want my names I play under for both games then just ask.  Been doing a small bit of reading which I should do more of.  I got a few books I really need to read too, I Am Legend I need to finish up, then I need to move to a couple others.  As for anything else in my life?  Yeah, some really good things have happened, one in particular but I'm not saying anything about it!  Now for something only certain people should read:<br />
<br />
SPOILERS!!!  SPOILERS!!!  SPOILERS!!!<br />
SPOILERS!!!  SPOILERS!!!  SPOILERS!!!<br />
If you HAVE NOT read Redemption then DO NOT read this!!!!<br />
As for those you who have, congrats on finishing my novella!  I've heard your words of kindness and been told what needs fixing which I take greatly to heart.  Now, those of you who have read it all the way to the end can see a great opportunity, no?  Well...I am thinking about taking the opportunity sometime but I would like to ask first, would you few who have taken your dear time to read a tale of mine be at all interested me doing so?  I will say right now that I want to but I always need words of encouragement just to inspire me.<br />
<br />
Anywho, that's all!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I played Portal recently and I have to say this, right now.  It....was...AWESOME!  Very nice puzzles through the game though over half were easily solved within the moment you step into the room.  The end of it was the best I've seen in a video game in a long while.  Why am I talking about it?  Because not only is it a very awesome game but it also made me have a few ideas for some stories.  Whoever gets any chance to play this game really should give it a shot.  The advanced rooms once you beat the game really turn it up a notch as well.  I decided to change my icon to show the love for the Companion Cube, never go anywhere without it!  I would go on an on about it but...nah.  I'll only talk about it if anyone leaves a comment wanting to.  Getting some stories going so don't worry that I'm not writing at all.  Anyways, take care everyone!<br />
<br />
Edit - I'm canceling my MySpace account because I never use it and well, I just don't want to bother.  So, ANY bulletins you see by me on there DO NOT OPEN!  If you receive ANY strange e-mails by me just ignore them!  I'll be giving forward notice before sending out e-mails and if I know you then well, I'll simply tell what I need by picking up the phone or something.  Again, DO NOT READ the bulletins!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Already one of my favorite months?  Time sure flies when...other people are busy.  I know you haven't really had much to read from me recently and for that I'm sorry.  I was close to starting something new when personal issues arose and well...all writing has halted since.  What was it?  It doesn't matter right now.  I don't know how much anybody wants to read of what since I rarely hear from my readers so I have no clue if you'll want a horror story ready to read by Hallow's Eve or not.  I do have an idea or two for it but unless somebody starts speaking up I might stop posting on here cause I have a feeling I'm easily forgotten in the mass of pictures of people's chairs and dogs on this site.  I know you all rather look at a picture than read a story that creates its own images in your head so I won't bother saying anything else.<br />
<br />
Life has been beating me down for a bit now but I'm doing my best to rise back up.  No job, no car, not a single thing, yet I keep going.  Starting to wonder why but I rather not think about it.  Stories are struggling in my mind to be released but when I start I suddenly feel like I have to stop and that's it.  I know once it gets colder I'll be writing more so I hope you'll be waiting.  Nothing else going in my life.  Now return to your own.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, as you can see, nothing new from me really.  Sorry about that.  I just haven't been in a big writing mood after I finished my exclusive story to Tabloid Purposes IV.  I know I really should do more but it's a bit hard when the moment you think about writing you suddenly don't want to...or you wished it was all ready done and in your name so you could look it over.  Ideas aren't really coming to me much either.  I guess it's just the Summer season that seems to completely rob me of everything that enters my mind.  So, why am I writing a journal?  Because I feel you need to be updated on my status.  Once a month is a good reminder to show you I'm still active.  As it just so happens, the rarity of an idea in this season has been slim to none until recently (I think Fall is kicking in!).  The idea(s) of mine will be put into motion soon but until then I need some comments to help me decide some things.  Now, this may include possible spoilers in previous stories I've done so before I say anything I felt like giving you a warning and I will put "SPOILERS" before a certain thing.  So, don't ruin it for yourself!<br />
<br />
First thing first.  My Shadow of the Colossus fic.  Yeah, that went nowhere as soon as I finished the third paragraph.  I really do want to do it but I guess it's just not in me to keep it up right now.  I might try again later though.  Just be patient if you were actually looking forward to it.<br />
<br />
Next thing.  I've been tossing old ideas around in my head and want to know what YOU think.  Should I try working on Inevitability 7?  Or perhaps another horror story, seeing as Halloween is getting closer?  Maybe another Guys in Ties story?  Haven't done one of those in a while and still got several left.<br />
<br />
!!!SPOILERS!!!<br />
Now, for the new ideas.  I've been planning sequels for a couple stories now.  What stories?  Well, I bet you thought I would say, huh?!  I knew you would look here!  Ok, fine, I'll name ONE!  I plan on doing a sequel and finishing up Distilled Thoughts of a Dangerous Mind.  The exclusive story in Tabloid Purposes IV was a tie-in to the story so unless you read that you may be a bit confused at some things but probably not a lot.  The other story I don't plan on saying.  Let's just say you need to read all my stories to find out which one.<br />
!!!END SPOILERS!!!<br />
<br />
So yeah, that's all for now.  Tell me what you think since I know people check my page!  Over a thousand views!  Woo!  Maybe I should do something special for whoever gets a screen cap of my 1,500 page view.  Maybe...write anything they want?  We'll see.  Depends on if anyone even gets it!  Alright now, back to your own thoughts!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, I know most of the fan fiction stuff out there is just someone trying to make themselves a character in a story already done but there are a good amount that also retell the tale of a video game fairly well.  Well, I decided to do a bit of fan fiction of my own.  What of?  The only game I can see myself putting a story with for now which is Shadow of the Colossus.  No, I will not be putting in things that sound retarded such as the hero's name being Wander only because the original title was Wanderer and the Colossus (or something extremely close).  In fact, I might not even tell his name just to see how it turns out.  I will be putting more of a story into it such as how he got the sword and a little more detail as to why he's doing what he's doing.  Expect every colossi to be in it and most of how to defeat them in game though I might cut some out or add a little extra just to make it a better read.  Don't want to read "another crappy fan fiction"?  Then DON'T.  I'm only doing it because I got the inspiration and the motivation...and the game is totally awesome.  Now, I don't know if people will want to read the fight between all 16 colossi so I will put sections in it to show which colossi it is that's next in case someone might want to skip.  Yes, I will put the colossi names.  I guess that's all for now, so just a heads up as to what you'll more than likely see on here next.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, as I said before, I AM busy writing stories right now but also taking my time to make sure I get a good feeling moving through the story when I write.  The exclusive story for Tabloid Purposes IV will not, as I said before, be posted here nor anywhere else.  If you want to read it then please buy the book when it becomes available!  I recently got the last comic for the Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born series.  Very awesome!  I plan on getting them all together again as a trade paperback or hardcover (whichever they do) since I'm that  obsessed with the story.  At the back of the last comic it tells of the new Dark Tower arc coming in February '08 too!!!  That series by Stephen King is what kept me going and working on Redemption.  I have got into a mood of sudden comic crazy lately too.  Buying trade paperbacks of the 30 Days of Night series since I only had the first and even some of the Transformers series since I'll never grow old of them.  I even discovered a new series (new to me anyways) called The Walking Dead which has quite a few numbered volumes in paperback and two books in hardcover.  Needless to say I got the books since they were cheaper all together and have more than the volumes out I think.  Book 3 of it should be due out sometime soon too.  I guess I could talk about me getting a Nintendo Wii, FINALLY, but I don't think it's very interesting to hear people talk about a game constantly.  Yes, I am playing Zelda.  Anyways, once I get a wireless router I'll give out my friend code in case anybody wants to play me at anything.  Keep encouraging me to write constantly!  It's working!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I've been busy and bored lately.  Mostly bored.  I've been writing a little but it's only in small increments for some reason.  I'm in the process of doing two or three stories at once also which might be the reason why it's taking a while for me upload anything for you guys.  Sorry it's taking long but I hope it'll be worth it.  One story you won't see here is one I'm doing exclusively for Tabloid Purposes IV.  The other story is Infinite Loss, my new zombie story.  It's the one I was talking about having a different idea of zombies and using them in a way I haven't seen them used yet.  You can read a tiny (and I mean tiny) preview of it just to see how the style of writing is going for it.  Also, as many of you know, I need to finish up Inevitability with the final installment.  I'm terribly sorry I've been putting it off for so long but other things come up and seem more important, Redemption was the main one.  I hope you all loved Redemption, by the way.  That my first attempt at a western adventure horror.  Yes, I got other ideas too.  One was given to me by a friend and I won't say a single word about it since it's going to be kept under wraps.  I want the twist at the end of it to really get you.  Other than all that...not much else has been going on.  Well, I better let you people go.  If you got an words of encouragement to keep me rolling and flying through stories for you to read then please don't let me stop you from saying them!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I did a new Dr. Casey.  BE HAPPY WITH IT!!! Just kidding, but honestly, I nearly fell asleep a couple times near the end and just decided to put an end to it right there.  As for other stories?  They're in the works so don't fret.  Anything else new?  Why yes.  I'm looking forward to Pirates of the Caribbean Online whenever that comes out so I can captain a friggin' huge ship and have a crew to do some awesome pwnage.  Interested in joining my crew/guild and the game isn't even out?  Just talk to me and I'll work something out.  So far, including me, the crew will consist of four people total...not a lot but plenty to have fun with.  Seriously, I'm tired.  Hope you enjoy the new submission!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've been looking for a new job that I actually WANT to work at and not one I'll quit the next day.  I applied at every book store I could think of and none were hiring until just recently.  Well, one of the places never called me no matter how many times I went in to ask about it.  And just recently another called me and asked for me to call back to schedule an interview.  Well, you could imagine how psyched I was to work with books constantly so I finally called back.  Got a crappy voice thing that eventually told me to wait until someone picked up the line.  I asked for the manager and they told me they wanted me in for an interview but first they wanted to know if I would work in the cafe...around food...  This bummed me out quite a bit in itself so I said I wasn't interested in working with food (I and never will be in all honesty) then they said that was the only position they wanted to hire for and basically told me they didn't want me.  So...after all that he wanted me for a position that I hadn't even stated on my application.  I don't like dealing with idiots trying to order two drinks that sound like fifty drinks.  Or people that get furious if I don't give them their caffeine boost right then and there.  I guess I won't be working a long long time.  Sucks and I hate my life but there's nothing I can do about it.  Screw calling back and saying I actually want a position I despise, it'd be lying to their face.  I guess I'll either find something else...exactly WHAT else I have no clue because I think I applied I nearly every place possible that seemed ok or I'll just...not have a job from now to who knows when.  Oh well, not like I was really wanted for the cafe anyways, the guy sounded like he was in a rush to get off the phone with me immediately after I said I didn't want to work with food.  This was a crappy update, I know.  I am still writing but nearly as much as I hoped.  With so much happening constantly it's hard to be in the mood to write or even the time I want to write.  I have plenty of time I COULD write but about 90% or more of it is taken up by sheer boredom so I have no inspiration.  Yes, it sucks.  I'm not in the mood to say anything else, just look for new stuff eventually I guess.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, since Redemption is finished and posted up I was wondering, what do you people want me to finish next?  I got a list of things I need to do but since I can't decide I was hoping some of you could leave me a comment or contact me some other way to say what you think I should do.  If you want, I got a list of stories I can jot down here for you.  You know what?  I'll do just that.<br />
<br />
Inevitability 7 - Last installment of my zombie series<br />
Mind Over Matter - Sequel to Distilled Thoughts of a Dangerous Mind<br />
The Transplant - One more Guys in Ties story like The Waiting and The Merger<br />
The Decision - Another Guys in Ties story<br />
The Fall - Yet another Guys in Ties story<br />
Immunity - About a paranoid man who tries to develop unusual immunities<br />
Coincidence - A couple buy a house and strange coincidences begin happening<br />
Dreams of the Damned - Kid takes part in Satanic ritual then has odd realistic dreams<br />
The End of All the Miracles - Zombie story not focused mainly on zombies for once<br />
Infinite Loss - My handwritten story about a new take on zombies (I'll be doing this one on my own time but would like to know if you people want me to post it here when finished.)<br />
<br />
Well, I think that's all for now.  Anyway, tell me what you think of what story.  If you have an idea of something I could put into writing, such as an idea of your own, then tell me.  I'll see what I can do and how I can work it out if possible.  Now, get back to your lives and do what ya want!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Read the title of the journal once more.  What am I talking about?  Redemption!  It's completed!  Now, as for uploading it, well, DA seems to want me to upload files of literature only if it's 64kb or lower.  Yeah...that isn't going to work.  Redemption is over 370kb and I'm not cutting anything out of it or sizing it down or anything.  So, unless someone can convince them to let me upload it for that much or maybe I can upload a .doc file (if anyone who has Microsoft Office can help me with this part) then I'll put it up here.  Until then, all I can say is it's done!  WOOHOO!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alrighty, so, I haven't been able to write much until just recently.  My job went downhill fast because my manager wanted to give the rest of my hours to some new assistant manager.  Long story, not worth the time to explain, honestly.  As for what I plan on doing next?  Finishing Redemption!  Then I might hurry and finish up Inevitability with the final installment too.  After that?  Dunno, maybe someone could throw ideas my way of what they want me to do.  More short stories?  Longer stories?  Guys in Ties?  Any suggestions are welcome.  I've been catching up on a lot of reading too.  Can't wait to finish Redemption and see what you people think about it.  I know it's long and I know it's not really ironed out completely, such as missed typos when I go through it, sentences that are blatantly boring, stuff like that.  It's perfectly fine though, since, if it gets published, the editor can change what they need and I can flesh out some small things for it.  Anyways, Just felt the need to update you guys in case you might have been worrying.  Long days and pleasant nights!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I know I haven't been updating a thing for a while but I don't have any inspiration to work on Redemption at the moment.  It is near the end and once I feel up to finishing it then it shouldn't take long.  My girlfriend got me a writing journal for my birthday on the 23rd and I have an idea of what I want to write in it.  But...I can't write something without a title for some reason.  Just the way I work.  Oh, and if you're curious if I finish that and might put it on DA then you better hope I feel up to it.  Right now it doesn't look promising since I don't like writing something down only to type it up exactly the same later.  If I can be convinced to do it then I will.  Otherwise, only my eyes and select few are going to be able to view it.  What is it about?  Zombie epidemic but not the usual zombies you see.  No they won't start out running, they won't start out being anything super special.  They won't even start out eating the living.  I bet you're thinking, 'Well then what makes me want to read it?' right?  Can't tell ya.  Nope, not a word.  I had a dream about it and thought it was so awesome I wrote down what I could as soon as possible.  I bet that made a few of you think about not reading anyways just because I won't tell.  I hate people who can't hold interest in something long enough to care.  So, if you really want me to put it up on DA after I finish writing it in the journal, then tell me.  Otherwise nobody else will see it but a couple of others I talk to.  And yes, I am very stingy about lending books.  Redemption WILL be finished this year but I need the inspiration to do it.  So, anybody's help will be appreciated.  Well, not much else to say.  If you feel like sending me a message or something then feel free.  Now, to let you back onto your lives.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As you know I have neared the ending to Redemption.  Sadly, as soon as I have, all the inspiration left me once again.  Don't fear, I feel like I might be finishing it up very soon.  In the meantime, I want to ask you people about a few things.  Those small couple of you who actually read my journals and stories anyways.  I was thinking of doing two things to maybe get my inspiration going for completing.  One is that I was thinking of doing ym very own UFO story, and no, not the typical abductee thing like everyone else, and not the whole aliens are attacking thing either.  I want to do something very few people have done.  Something that involves the aliens but not in the usual way.  Who knows, I might end up making it adbuctee and invasion like a dream I had...er...couple of dreams.  Won't be too bad but just something to think about.  The other is that I was considering was maybe writing a few select Goosebumps stories in the way i envision them and make them more adult oriented.  No, not as in sex.  More like a grisly version of the stories and perhaps more twisted and warped.  As for which ones?  Not sure.  I do know I would love you write a different version of Stay Out Of The Basement.  R. L. Stine was a hero for youngsters in school like I was.  It was nice to have something to read during short sessions of nothing in class and have books to look forward to as well.  I'm not sure if I'll do either or just continue my Guys in Ties stories, or finish up Inevitability.  Well, I guess I can let you go and perhaps if you want to take the time, you could tell me which Goosebumps books you liked best.  It'd be interesting to see what stories were people's favorites.  Reminiscing is good...and yes, I know I screwed that word up horribly.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
