FP Profile Old Updates

RECENT UPDATE(S) September 11, 2011

At this moment, I'm working on a small chapter for "Follower of Mibuno"(Seishin/Pure Heart) to raise my writing and creativity enthusiasm.

For a good month or so, my writing self-esteem wasn't very high. Even though I feel a bit better now, I still think my writing is terrible and it looks like I am nearly incapable of learning from mistakes. One of my biggest faults must be simple sentence structure (or grammar) and exposition.

Then again, I could be too hard on myself. That real Eastern feel that I want to aim for in Seishin seems very difficult, so because of time and difficulty, I've decided to make the stories of Seishin short (with short chapters). I wanted to make this my policy for general writing, but it hasn't been turning out that way ;) I'll keep trying; again, look forward to next Mibuno chapter and tell me what you think.

Also, I'm getting that patriotic, "appreciation of heroes"; feeling again so I might work on United We Soar soon too.

===================

August 29: Surprise everybody. Before I work on UWS and SolAka, I just uploaded the VERY SHORT prologues of three new works from my above-mentioned Seishin ninja Series: The Follower of Mibuno, Jumping Monkey, and Autumn Grove. I hope I do Japan, especially Feudal Japan justice.

I enjoyed typing them up, so I hope you enjoy them too (while I lag in UWS and SolAka). Now these are short stories, which means they may have another chapter or two before completion. I won't get very far in these at all and I need to think up more storylines for the different characters that I have planned down already.

Okay, I finished a new chapter for one of my Fanfiction.net so now I'm going back to my original works. I have a lot to do "United We Soar" (UWS) and "SolAka: (HBSA) are still difficult stories for me to do, but are very fun to work on. For the past few weeks I haven't been in a writing mood, so I took time off to regain my focus and motivation. I still think I'm not that positive, but I'll keep trying.

Also, a few days ago, the last chapter of "United We Soar" was edited.

My computer caught a Virus back in February 2011 and lots of files were damages, including information on current fictional stories. Data on Heroic Blaze SolAka was probably affected the most, including plot and mecha info (http://mastergraywolf.livejournal.com/tag/trouble)

Flying & Driving

While reading about the terrible Air show tragedy in Reno, Nevada, I came across poetry about flying and the sky: http://www.skygod.com/quotes/poetry.html

The Eagle and the Hawk
by John Denver
I am the eagle, I live in high country,
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky,
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers,
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry,
And all those who see me, and all who believe in me,
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly!

Come dance with the west wind,
And touch all the mountain tops,
Sail o'er the canyons, and up to the stars,
And reach for the heavens, and hope for the future,
And all that we can be, not what we are.

Along that, I was reading about Manual Transmission Gear shifting.
http://www.2pass.co.uk/gears.htm

- 1st Gear is used for moving off, manoeuvring and for creeping slowly in traffic and at junctions.

- 2nd Gear is used for moving off down very steep hills, building up speed after moving away and driving at low speeds.

- 3rd Gear is used to build up speed and when you need more power for climbing hills. It also increases your control when going down steep hills and dealing with some bends.

- 4th Gear is used for driving at speeds generally higher than 30 mph, where there are no hazards to confront.

- 5th Gear not all vehicles have a 5th gear. which gives better fuel economy. This is normally only used on open roads when travelling constantly at higher speeds.
