《Apocalypse Now: Under Contract》Update
Advertisement
So, you're all probably wondering where I've been. For the last week and a half, I've been vacationing in Penticton, a quiet little vacation town chock full of old rich white dudes. It was alright. I didn't have very much internet access, and my writing time got cut by a lot because I was always doing something. During the little time that I was trying to write, I realized something about this fic.
I've hit a limit.
It's not really writer's block, but something similar I suppose. Thus far, I've been writing this with little to no planning ahead. I sit down in an afternoon, think about what I want to happen, and write it down. Obviously, this has some issues. Plot holes, poor character development, etc. At this moment, I don't really see much point in continuing this, especially since it was mostly meant to be a practice fiction (as were all my other ones...)
Thus, I'm here to update my schedule and get those of you who follow me (yeah right, who?!) up to speed on what's going on.
After the last year or so of somewhat half-heartedly practicing writing, I finally feel that I'm good enough to start writing an actual web novel. I've got two and a half projects in mind.
First, I'm starting a new web novel that will be fully planned out and half written at least a volume in advance. This means that before I even start posting anything on here or elsewhere, I'll have a volume of it almost written already. This will make updates come faster, keep the story more cohesive, and generally make a better reading experience (obviously). I might be creating a wordpress or something and post chapters a day later on here. As for details, well, I won't be giving out too much info but... Think Re:Zero sort of concept, except the MC isn't a whiny little bitch.

Second, I'm going to be writing an actual novel alongside the web novel. This novel will not be released online until it's finished, and then I will only be releasing it on amazon or something. Sorry freeloaders.
Second and a half, I'm rewriting Monstrous. I've been meaning to get around to it for awhile now, but didn't end up getting started on it until now. I'll bulk release the first four chapters at some point and then write more slowly. I'm going to halfway plan it out as well, so releases might not come for awhile. The reason I'm doing Monstrous and not one of the others is for a few reasons. It was my first fiction, and kind of holds sentimental value for me, and it kind of almost went viral (800 avg views in 4 chapters? Dang dude, it wasn't even that good!). I attribute the last bit to the kickass name and synopsis. Not sure how I even wrote those back then.
Anywho, due to those reasons, I'll be disappearing for a bit. See ya.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.
