《Origin》Announcement - Not a Chapter
Advertisement
Hey guys,
A year and a half ago, after serious illness and catastrophic loss of notes I dropped this novel. The fact that there are still people following it, amazes me. I read stuff and when I find it's been dropped I'll read to the end and drop so the fact some of you have been holding out hope for this novel to come back astounds and has given me the motivation to at least finish this to where The Exodus Project (the very first attempt) got to.
So what does this mean? Well I've completely rewritten all the characters from the ground up, they still resemble the original ones, but I feel like I have taken some basic 2D concepts and really fleshed them out and have given them full personalities, backstories and depth. Part of the reason I dropped this is because I had just hit a wall and I didn't see any way forward without going back and rebuilding alot of this novel from scratch all over again and that didn't appeal to me then.
It does now. I want to finish this and I know where this is going and how it's going to get there. I've spent the last 2 months writing character files, story boards and the act of writing is fun for me again.
But, this means that there is going to be a process of heavy edits, some character changes are mostly superficial and some are not. The MC has been completely rebuilt from scratch including a new name but the kernel of his personality remains. Over the next two months I'm going to be updating the existing chapters to reflect this new design. After that there will be new material.
Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Jeremy Finds A Dragon
Jeremy, a teenage boy with a freakish talent for the clarinet, is less than thrilled when his mom announces that they’re up and moving to a tiny village on a tiny Scottish island the summer before his senior year of high school. But Dunsegall turns out to be an okay sort of place, if you like cliffs, sheep, and small-batch ice cream made by a family obsessed with Ray Charles. Two teenage locals — Colin and Aggie — quickly pull Jeremy under their wing and decide to give him a summer he’ll never forget. Everything is mostly fine until one day, in the depths of the woods, they stumble across a two hundred year-old monk and a living, breathing — or, rather, snoring — dragon who need their help. Together, Jer, Col, and Aggie delve into the hidden history of the island, getting up to their elbows in heresy, Highland Games, and, somehow, romance.

CATastrophe
After a bunch of nuclear power-plants all around the world exploded due to some dumb mistakes, radiation caused mutations in just about all the animals and some plants on planet earth. Especially cats. Now cats are the lifeform above all lifeforms, because for some strange reason, radiation had a veryyy pronounced effect on cats. Now dead-set on vengance, cats are out to get humans for making embarassing dank memes of cats and overall setting dogs as the superior species. This will be really endangering the humankind. Plus the fact that now every single animal on earth is sentient, stronger, and sometimes smarter than humans, humans are now on the bottom of the food-chain. Follow Dave the cat-hating prick, on his journey to put humanity back on top, and to pacify as many prideful cats as possible. But first he will have to deal with his girlfriend's cat Holly and her shenanigans. Authors note: Don't expect a lot for this series, this is like my first proper story.
