PSA #3 Twenty is an accomplishment.

Well, I got started writing the second chapter to my novel last night, as I have been taking the time, regardless of if I have the time. If you want to fulfill your dream, you just have to go for it. You have to sacrifice part of who you are to be who you want to become. In my case, it's a little bit of sleep; but that's fine, because I finally hit twenty pages!

Now, you're probably thinking "but Jake, that's not hard at all. You literally just have to write to get to that point."While, I concede that point, I also will point out a trend in my writing. I rarely get past fifteen pages in writing a story (my fan fiction was a totally different story, but that's a different beast altogether).  So, I'm sitting here, drinking orange juice and listening to Two Steps From Hell to celebrate my accomplishment. It feels good. Now, I just need to write the rest of the story.

Anyway, I'm about to write more of chapter 2. Almost wrote chapter 3 there; just a little bit ahead of myself there, huh? Haha. Well, the writing continues onwards. Make sure to tell people you know about my blog too. Let's get this story popular and get the public's opinion on my story.

Oh, and here's a preview of chapter two for all you readers:

After a few moments, the suit had completed its activation cycle. Save for the whir of servos within the suit, it was silent. But he wasn’t alone; he could sense something sitting in the back of his consciousness. Frederik reached out and attempted to mentally poke Tallius.

You there?

The other presence tiptoed about his memories, moving with enough precision of a professional burglar breaking into a home. Frederik frowned.

Tallius, you there?

The presence, paused. Frederik, I am here. But your cortex is unfamiliar to me; I remember only your name, and a strange craving for my mother’s brownies.

Frederik smiled… But that quickly faded as he considered Tallius’ situation. He quickly recalled his training and mentally closed himself off to outsiders, which included Tallius. Did he lose all of his memory? I mean, Merrus said there could be complications, but that must suck, he thought. He got out of his mental block and addressed Tallius.

You don’t remember anything besides the brownies?

Affirmative. My coding tells me there is an error in my memory core, but I am unable to fix it as it is a hardware problem, not a software problem. Curious.

Frederik’s throat constricted. We’ll get you fixed up, Tallius. Don’t you worry. He closed his eyes and sighed.

Very well, Lieutenant.

Thanks for reading. Stay classy. And don't vote for Donald Trump. That guy's a jerk.

PSA #2 Up and Running now... With a small delay.

The blog has been up for about a month... And I just got around to customizing it a little bit. It looks good for me, but what do you think? I really like the black with the planet behind it. It just fits my story, and fits my style as well. No that I'm really style conscious, or anything-conscious for that matter.

Anywho, the blog is up. I have my first chapter and prologue out. I think at the end when I go through my story again, a lot will have to change out of necessity, and because I will likely have other stuff I want to do for this story, but that's no big deal. It happens with every writer (or so I'm told--I've never actually finished a story before). With this next chapter, I'm going to be writing quite a bit I think, but I'm also going to be doing more of a thorough edit before I release it so you all have a better time reading it. I'm also going to be revisiting my first chapter and prologue to do a little editing there. I'll let you all know when you do that.

However, I am also in the middle of my finals at school, so don't expect those chapters to write themselves very quickly over these next two weeks. It will likely be a very slow process. I'll keep you up to date.

Thanks to all of you who so faithfully support me in my bid to take over the world... I mean in writing a story. A wonderful story. Not a prediction of the future or anything like that.

Thanks again.

PSA #1

Hey everyone, it's a me, Jakio. But really, it's Jake.

Just a quick public service announcement to all of those that read this (thanks, by the way). I should be releasing chapter one of my story either tomorrow or Monday. Please feel free to read it. I'm aware of some inconsistencies at this point, but am not really in a heavy editing stage. So, there may be some errors and such. If there are, let me know. Also, let me know anything that doesn't follow logically or seems a little odd. I don't mind. If there's anything good, as well (something you like, etc.) please let me know, so I can do more of those kinds of things and really figure out what my strengths and weaknesses are with writing.

Sincerely, your buddy, your friend, your partner in crime, blah blah blah,
