In all seriousness I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get the first chapter of "Darkness at Dawn" done. This story is weird in that I went into it with a pretty clear idea of how I wanted chapters 2 and 3 to flow, but I had no idea how to actually start the damn story. This chapter went through several re-wrights before I was finally satisfied with it, and you can read it here. With any luck you won't have to wait half a year before I get the next two chapters out.

Though it's not like I haven't just been sitting around doing nothing. Entered a couple writing contests that I did pretty well in, came up with a few more story ideas that I'm going to explore when I have the time, and I even developed three new characters. Basically everything and anything I could do to not be working on the story I should have been writing xD

Anyway, mini-rant over. Though this does remind me of a good quote I saw in a demotivational poster. "Procrastination is like masturbation. It's great at the start, but in the end you realize you just fucked yourself."
