Timely updates?

Right. Well. Blogging is surprisingly easy to do, even when I'm as busy as I am.

I'm heading up to Atlanta tomorrow to stay for a few nights. We have a couple of fun things to do up there for my cousins. I got myself a separate room. My excuse was that my father snores like hell and there's no way I could sleep if I stayed in their room, and if I was in my cousins' room? I think that qualifies as a few crime based on the age difference.

The real reason is pure paranoia. I haven't made contact with any so called proxies, or big spindle himself, but I've noticed some weird things around town. Signs are upside down. A lot of them. I noticed it at the mall where a Gap sign for a summer sale was upside down. Wrote it off as retardation, or some kind of stupid inception advertisement thing... Then I noticed a stop sign had been flipped, and a handy-capped sign, and an entire store's name. Then a few days later I noticed something else kind of weird. No one had bothered to fix this. It's been almost 3 days. I can forgive the street signs because they would require some tools to flip, but the sale sign? In a mall? How do you not notice that? How lazy do you have to be to not take 10 seconds of your day to flip a sign? I pointed it out to my cousin laughing, it was just so silly, she asked me what I was talking about.

I've looked around various sources. I've never seen this symptom of being stalked. I could be going insane. Or it could be Change Blindness but I'm pretty sure that's not how change blindness works.

It could be that I'm already completely insane, and this is just a symptom of completely non related things. Or my brain is already failing and is no longer flipping certain things right side up when I see them. I don't have a hyper link to explain this because the five minutes of googling and reading things didn't provide what I was looking for. My family has a history of vision problems on my mother's side so this may not be unexpected. I just would expect it to be a little more widespread than a few signs.

Anyway. Moving away from that, I've had some minor writer's block, I'm only to page 80 in the journal. This was because I had to figure out exactly how the mentor character dealt with the death of one of his charges. Originally, he just kind of slinks off and doesnt appear, but since this work is focused on him I can't exactly do it again. I think I've already shrugged this off though. The 17th entry is under way and hopefully this won't happen again.

I hope this makes up for my last update, I'll post next Friday as usual.

Huzzah! Second post!

So, I've decided to try and update this thing once a week. Seems easy enough, until I run out of things to talk about. I do realize technically I've missed my set Friday update but my own personal hell cropped up to stop me from updating.

I have been having internet problems lately and my computer may have caught some kind of virus. If freaky things start happening with a girl in a well or a tree that is a man you guys are never going to see me online again. Probably because I'll be dead or something... Oh! Also, stupid thunder storm just knocked my power out for a good few hours. After watching Marble Hornets I couldn't even look NEAR the windows until the lights came on and I was greeted by my own reflection.

In real life news I have 2 cousins coming over to stay for a few weeks for the summer. They're really fun, almost clones of me, which is terrifying but thrilling. They came over 2 summers ago and hung out here for a month. I think they're 15 and 12? Could be a year older than that.

This has also brought up the problem of my mother being a clean freak when family comes over. I've been cleaning for about 18 hours straight at this point. I found out she will clean through a power outage, by candle light.

So. I guess I should elaborate a bit more on my books that I talked about a lot in that first post. I haven't written much more in the journal, started the next "Chapter" but haven't gotten very far. Distracted by having to remove every god damn sub-atomic particle of dirt from my floor. I can see my reflection, in concrete I think it's clean.

I'll start with the setting in this post, I'm going to stretch the hell out of this so I can cover days when my rantings have run low. I could say I used Norse Mythology as a backdrop. But really? I looked at Norse Mythology, thought it was cool, and slapped a few names on things and did my own thing. I need to be more original I guess. Anyway we have Asgard, the place the Gods live in, as the crazed highly militarized paradise that it usually is. The main characters are of Angel decent and the mentor one I mentioned is one of the oldest angels alive, termed an Ancient One. Then we have Midgard, the place where most of the story happens. Midgard is in danger of being reworked from a plane of existence to a weapon by the Antagonist. Angels, including the Ancient one, are sent down to keep him off of it, and maybe kill him. Then we have Helheim, the home of all the demons and such the Antagonist gets his legions of soldiers from. Oh, and The In-between, a part of the universe that isn't exactly IN the universe, where the Antagonist lives, making it hard to storm his castle and kill him.

Also making it hard to kill him, he's got perfect immortality, can only be mildly annoyed rather than killed, and the number of people capable of fighting one on one him can be counted on one hand.

That's a ramble for next Friday however.

Peace.

Introductions, Explanations

Alright. I'm just going to start by saying I'm probably not as pretentious as my posts will make me out to be. I'm a college student working on a book series, I can get verbose and ramble-tastic sometimes.

For one I'm a fairly massive nerd, Internet culture is my culture, even if I don't venture into the darker parts of the Interwebs very often. I play a lot of games, dabble in coding my own games, write, draw, etc.

This Blog is for me being random, and writing about whatever I'm doing, usually progress on my books, on the game, on my college education or whatever I find interesting at the moment. I mainly made this profile so I could reach out to people. A certain kind of blogger known as Slenderbloggers. The people entrenched in the war against the spindly devil himself. I have not been savaged by him, I have never seen him, I've watched most of the main videos on youtube and done some reading on here. I know full well the danger of jumping in but at this point I know too much with or without this blog. I don't know what I'll be able to bring to the table, I'm rational and good under pressure, as well as being almost completely neutral in everything I do. For now, I'll just keep uploading random accomplishments from my life, until things start going to hell like most every other blog relating to... construct? It? SlendyMcGoAway? I suppose he'd have to be after me for that last one to work.

Regardless, that book series I'm working on is probably going to be the main focus of this blog. Here's what I've got for the moment.

Rebirth: Angel of Origin - The first book of mine, it was written back when I was about 12-13 and hasn't been touched since. It's about 140 pages typed and needs some serious work to fit into the rest of the series. It is the first part of the Trilogy but as it is now... about 80% of it isn't actually considered canon. Mainly due to the fact I was 12, didn't plan ahead, and just kind of meandered for 15 chapters before hastily finishing the thing. I am working on a planned revision right now though. Revision here meaning completely rewriting the thing from scratch.

Life and Death: Angel of The Fallen - The second book I've written, 3rd story I ever finished writing. The first version I wrote right after finishing the first. I then hit the point where I woke up and started taking writing seriously. Planned everything out and then rewrote the whole thing. As it is now it's about 340 pages, I finished it around January-February this year. However this also needs another revision because I changed my mind on a trait most of the main characters share so... the first 13 or so chapters need to be completely reworked to include this. I've gotten the first 3 chapters revised as of now, working on the fourth, about half way done. I have a list of things I need to do to every chapter. It's set 2 years after the events of the first book, the characters develop lightly through the gap but not as much as they will in...

Destruction: Angel of Fragments - The final volume of the trilogy. This has not actually been written out yet, but I have outlined it completely. I couldn't decide how I was going to end the thing so I plotted out 2 endings, a "Good" and a "Bad" ending. I'll decide which one to go with after I've written them both out. It's set 15 years after Life and Death and naturally concludes the adventures of my assorted crew of characters. One way or the other... Due to the huge gap there are a few large character shifts that take place due to a few of them having grown up, a few having children, and generally settling down.

Journals of The Ancient One - A companion work to the first and second book. A set of journals written from the perspective of the mentor character who will go unnamed as of now. It's really my only chance to give this character a past, and explain why he is the way he is. He largely acts in the now, and only for the betterment of others. Not really dwelling on his sorted past. I've written about 70 pages of this work so far, and I'm going to use it as a sort of Alternate outline for Rebirth. I've grown kind of tired with the outlining format I've been using, so this is an opportunity for me to work from a different angle.

Those are the big ones, I was planning on doing a prequel that does much the same as the Journals do, and explain the mentor's past, but I doubt it would be necessary anymore. I'll write more about plot and characters later, I don't want to go on too long about these things on my first post.
