it's driving me insane!
GOD I FUCKIN HATE LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!

]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/10728463/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/10728463/ Tue, 14 Nov 2006 21:36:49 PST Yes! Its official! It will now be made into a novel. Not to be published just yet, "Marcellona" is still yet unfinished. and is only a chapter away from completion.

the second piece of news is that I've decided to write a prelude novel to "Marcellona" called "Diamond in the Ruff". It will tell the story of a character in "Marcellona" and where she got her beginnings.

next, my attempt at making an entirely new novel from scratch with new characters and an entires new plot and theme failed miserably. But as i thought about it more, i realized that it was better off not being a novel, and instead being a collection. A collection of poetry, short stories, thoughts, quotes, memories, songs, and small personal interviews. I've christened it "The Last-September Project". It is meant to portrait the lives of numerous people from point A to point B in their lives. One of the characters will play a vital role in the story by tying together all of the little stories. I just hope it will go alright in the writing process...

Next...

Currently, my freewebs website is extended across four sites, and has over 60 pages of poetry and stories. These sites as a group are called "The Story...". I know, not a very original name, but i don't really care. Each site is also labeled with numbers (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4). Ive decided that instead of keeping them online and risking deletion due to inactivity and no visitors, i will just write all of them down into a notebook and keep them with the rest of my written stories.

and finally, the last piece of news for tonite is this...

The first novel or book i finished was in eighth grade. I was about 14 years old then. I started writing it in sixth grade when i was about 12 years old. I went through multiple drafts and versions. I titled it "The Shores". It was probably my most extensive writing project to date.

Three years after the completion of "The Shores", I'm still writing stories and i am almost finished with my second novel "Marcellona". I already have two more books in the works ("Diamond in the Ruff" and "The Last-September Project") and one ongoing project ("The Story...") in the making. Perhaps this is why i have writers block for "Marcellona"...

Well, I'm off! I'm very excited about all of this and i hope this all works out!

Until Next Time,
Jay

be sure to start from the beginning.

Wish me luck with the 4th chapter! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/8050250/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/8050250/ Thu, 02 Mar 2006 19:05:55 PST But i'll be putting it back up once i finish the whole story. Unfortunately it's taking me longer than expected. I also have another story in the works...
When i re-release the Marcellona story again, it will probably be in PDF form, or I might make it into a web site. I don't know yet. ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7650427/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7650427/ Thu, 19 Jan 2006 16:53:52 PST ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7557253/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7557253/ Mon, 09 Jan 2006 18:04:04 PST
With all the plot i have, i've decided to divide Chapter 4 into three parts! Yikes! And here's the worst part: as long as my chapters usually are (Microsoft Word = 6-8 pages/ DevART = a lot of pagespace), my goal is to make each part at least 8 pages each! But that's not the real problem i've been having.

The real problem is that this chapter is one of the first romantic chapters in the story, and i'm not too good with writing them. So that's gonna take a while to spit out 8 pages. I have the concepts for them written down already, but i want to expand those ideas.

Okami-Mesu, if you have any advice, i could really use some right now ^^'

Wish me luck everybody, i'm gonna need it. ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7536429/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7536429/ Sat, 07 Jan 2006 14:33:24 PST

later! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7348021/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7348021/ Sun, 18 Dec 2005 18:05:02 PST
I'm also trying to make a universal preview for my poems that i don't have previews for. Hopefully i can make a couple of them to reflect the overall mood of the poem.

wish me luck ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7249834/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7249834/ Wed, 07 Dec 2005 18:26:55 PST
she had another stroke! this one lasted almost an hour!
I was the only one home so i had to call an ambulance! I watched them take her away. It was scary as all hell!!!

she says she doesnt want any visitors because the other person in the room is smelly, plus the room is small.

I'm starting to freak out more now. However subtle it may be, it's happening more and more. Yesterday was the worst tho. After the ambulances left [she wouldn't let me come with ] i was hitting furniture. And now my hand hurts from punching the floor and the woodwork [i figured those were probably better choices that hitting drywall - my dad made that mistake a while back].

please! pray for her! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7188597/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7188597/ Wed, 30 Nov 2005 18:47:39 PST
ive got writers block! so you probly wont be seeing the 4th chapter soon. i'll get it done eventually! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7020737/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7020737/ Fri, 11 Nov 2005 17:43:08 PST ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7011408/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7011408/ Thu, 10 Nov 2005 17:20:11 PST I went to see her today. My grandparents drove me and one of my sisters to the hospital. SHe was doing just fine and her blood pressure went down a little while we were there.

They still don't know what caused it... But they think it might've been caused by high blood pressure, high potassium or something else. I didn't get too many details yet.

So now i can sleep a little easier tonight... ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7003912/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7003912/ Wed, 09 Nov 2005 20:22:35 PST ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7003686/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/7003686/ Wed, 09 Nov 2005 19:52:13 PST

Wish me luck on this one everybody! cuz im gonna need alot of it.

i will get writers block! it's inevitable. ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6939259/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6939259/ Wed, 02 Nov 2005 19:44:26 PST
I'm almost done with the third chapter! Alot of it is just kinda informational and might be a little boring. But with most things, you gotta get through the boring stuff before you can get to the good stuff and the action. It's all building up.

wish me luck! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6868038/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6868038/ Tue, 25 Oct 2005 20:00:52 PDT

i've finally started thinking of new ideas to write about!

My story will soon get a third chapter (probly a shorter one though)

And i'm gonna try and write some poems that dont always rhyme

It's kick ass!

Wish me luck everybody! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6628140/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6628140/ Wed, 28 Sep 2005 18:29:33 PDT
i never do my homework. freshman year, i at least tried a little to make an effort

i dunno, sumthin changed... and i really dont care what

i also have a major case of writers block! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6567061/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6567061/ Wed, 21 Sep 2005 19:24:52 PDT ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6512884/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6512884/ Thu, 15 Sep 2005 15:18:56 PDT
So i met a new friend in the beginning of the year, we havent really talked until yesterday (Sep 14). She's cool.

That's all i have to say right now. ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6372620/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6372620/ Tue, 30 Aug 2005 19:35:40 PDT
with each chapter i write, i try to make them each a little longer than the other.

I just got some new software today. It lets you create 3d buildings and stuff like that. Im gonna use it to try and create Marcellona in 3d! That's gonna take a really long time though...

And pretty soon im gonna submit a new poem! I got some pretty good stuff coming up soon... and im also working on something for a friend of mine on DA. It's a preview for her upcoming story. ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6336577/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6336577/ Fri, 26 Aug 2005 18:45:00 PDT ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6316473/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6316473/ Wed, 24 Aug 2005 14:41:14 PDT It's gonna be a little longer than the first chapter, but it also has a little more to explain. Alot of people could probly relate to the stuff in the next chapter. I've already written more than i expected and im still not done!

some of the people i really want to read the first and second chapters all the way through and comment on are: Tonnerre, Freebird007, and Okami-Mesu <-- i know she read the first chapter ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6299919/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6299919/ Mon, 22 Aug 2005 17:58:43 PDT
I started Marist again! Sophmore orientation was today, and it was good to see everybody again!

i think i have skitzophrenia (and i think i spelled that wrong). From time to time, i can become a little paranoid (can also happen with pot). And alot of times i will feel like crap and not be able to think straight (can happen with most anything). I dont know if that's supposed to happen or not, but my point is, im already messed up as it is. I dont need any of those things to mess me up (i was born feeling drunk and high). I have never been drunk, and i dont drink much at all. And i have never tried any drugs or ever smoked. So what the hell is goin on? ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6124924/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6124924/ Wed, 03 Aug 2005 17:32:49 PDT ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6116783/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6116783/ Tue, 02 Aug 2005 20:56:26 PDT
After i entered all the required information to become a Deviant, i clicked SUBMIT, and the next page said i was banned!

The only two things i can think of are:

1. It could be someone i have on my friends list (DO NOT ASK ME WHO! I MIGHT ALREADY BE IN ENOUGH TROUBLE WITH DA!!!!!) who is part of the "Policy Violations Staff" may have ratted me out.

2. It could be that someone reported me about my comedy story "PLACE TITLE HERE"

i have already sent an inquiry to DA asking what i did to get banned. Hopefully they will tell me, and will soon lift the ban. If anyone has more information on being banned, or if you are banned, please leave comments about it, and wish me luck! ]]> ~dumbassNUMBER4 http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6061358/ http://dumbassNUMBER4.deviantart.com/journal/6061358/ Thu, 28 Jul 2005 19:53:29 PDT

you can't find it on their site. i dunno how this link was found. but someone found it and put it on a message board. So now i'm giving it to you. i guess they had it, but wouldn't release it until it was released in the US
