Birthday, and general update, and Q&A!!! (Please comment)
8 years ago
Please be sure to read everything, every detail is important:
Well.. this has been an eventful month, full of ups and downs, but right to the point. I have one month to get to college, and you know what that means. BUM RUSH!!!.............. naa.. not yet. I need to calm down from all the hype and get back to the harsh reality. Note: I am not super sad, and definitely not depressed, but still, here is where I have been for the past month.
College: Biggest news out of the way. I got a scholarship.. a new one starting this year that few knew about.. it gives me 2 year of free tuition in a community college and a guaranteed transfer to a college of MY CHOICE, so long as I keep getting good grades. of 231 people who applied, only 10 got selected.. and I am lucky enough to be one of those 10 ^-^.
Birthday: Like the title suggested, today is my birthday~.. and the reason that I don't put it as the biggest thing is because I did not get the word out there like I wanted too before. A combination of exhaustion and general feeling bad for the past few weeks made me feel this way. Sorry for those that would have liked to know in the past.. and if any of you are thinking of getting me a gift or something, please, really REALLY think hard before you do so.. Gifts are iffy with me.. I understand that some watch me for a reason, and I don't dispute the fact that I think my writings are good. I think they are~ <3 heck, I am approaching my 200 watcher mark, and it grows every time I write a story.. but seriously. I don't expect anything.. but if you feel you must, whether it be because you personally know me, or something else.. please make it a small gift, or at least if it is going to be something along the lines of a picture, let it be one that I can use as a thumbnail for a story of mine.. fan art of stories would make me overjoyed, but again, really think about if you want to spend YOUR money on me.. especially if I do not personally know you, and besides, my B-Day passed.. in one hour of making this journal. :P
car: I got one :D and that is about it. How did I not get one before for college? I rode a bike *puts on sunglasses*
and now.. the reason I got so much grief.. to save the TL;DRs out there, here is where the
BAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (is)
So.. my method of storing my documents that I write my stories on (google docs) was run by a high school account that I had for years, and found that I kept my first year of college.. cool......... well it just closed.. no warning or anything, but the account closed. I can no longer access it. It took me a while to realize, but after I checked my computer's personal files and documents and on my 2 flash drives.. I found that all progress I made on my latest story, Barnyard Troubles, was instantly, literally overnight gone one day.. I was almost done with it too.... and for artists that know the feeling of drawing a picture only for the power to go out or for your stupid Window's 10 to do an automatic update (FK you Windows 10) without saving a nearly completed pic.. it just kills you inside.. I have not written anything for 2 weeks now.. But I know I need it done.
Azil31 I am so sorry.. I know you have been waiting for a long while, but I only want to give you the best story I can. Especially after that wonderful gift you gave me around 3 months ago.. I really want to give it my all. The good news is, the skeleton is made, and remaking the story should not be hard at all, but the thing is.. I have to remake it.. an I know I wrote things already.. I worry I may rush or try to get to a certain part faster. I am a firm believer that the first copy is always the best one, and that edits make it better. I mean.. what would happen if Shakespeare scrapped an entire play to rewrite it, do you think it would be better, the same, or worse having to rewrite everything while making sure you don't miss the smallest detail so that everything had the same, if not better, impact. That is my main worry as a writer.. and the main cause of my sadness. But I know I must move on. It is not fair to Azil31, it is not fair to the second set of raffle winners. Though these may be free raffle stories, I should not get lack luster with this. I need to stay efficient and determined.
Why I made this journal.. an update.. and a way to get me back in action. They story should not take long. I appreciate all your patience, and I hope that you all like what is to come in the near future.
BUT FOR FUNZIES
as stated above, near 200 watchers... wow.. I am sure my next story can get me to that number, and once it reaches that, there will be a straw poll for a 5th story after the second set of raffle winners. but for now ASK ME A QUESTION! any question at all. Pokemon related, general life related, opinions and suggestions (but personal bias toward pokemon questions but still) Anything you want to ask me, please put in the description, and ask as many as you want, please <3 It makes me happy to answer questions, and I want to see what people want to know about me~ heck, a question can be "Red or Blue?" (red~) I am excited to see what your questions are~ (also, please don't be offended if I politely tell you that I would not like to answer a question that gets a bit too personal, but I don't think anyone will seriously go that far without doing it on purpose)

What do you consider your inspirations for getting into writing?
As for what inspired me to do my first writing piece, Detour, (look in the back of my gallery, it should be the first story) I wanted to give Le something back for introducing me (you know what I mean, not going to publically say it here to make it not flooded with people) and so I wrote the story about him and Ray ^-^
Thank you for asking the question <3 and please, I would really love if people also post a question of their own, and ask as many as you want
Now a question! What will you be studying at college?
And currently, I am getting my core classes finished now at the community college and some basic engineering classes so that one day, I can become an Engineer, hopefully a Nuclear Engineer or at least Aerospace or Civil Engineer.
One, Happy birthday in regards to me. I never got the chance to greet until I saw this but yeah. Happy birthday from me.
Two, I'm now currently working on Season 2 and 3 of GBK (With the understanding of all my watchers on DA and FA of course). I'm also have a pokemon themed story featuring my OC Team The SUN EXPLORERS. Link to their folder is here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....-SUN-EXPLORERS
While My story is currently in the works on DA, I'm confident that I will be able to share it with you and A special friend of yours Totodice.
(I'm also looking for cameos for my next story called DIANCIE'S SORROW, which is a pokemon super mystery dungeon story arc and if you have any cameo suggestions, let me know)
Lastly, Thanks It is through writers like you that made me start writing stories. It has been an honor looking at your accomplishments and works over the years. I pray that you keep doing amazing things in the future. Good luck on college!!
