mastergraywolf: (High Focus/Not Tolerating This)
Hello everyone!

This is a little blog entry about my current activity. I am sorry for not updating, as I have a lot to do for both fanfiction and original stories.

Just to let you know that I am not giving up on them. Never ever. I have so much that I want to do and finish. I want to see SolAka stretch into even outer space; there is an airforce short story, Saint Seiya series, a mafia series, my Monster Rancher remakes (TEN years already!), my NARUTO remake, another Fanfic trilogy, and a plethora of ninja stories.

It's just that I wish to devote more time onto something important. Both writing and art are parallel, and both steadying my hands and diagram study has to do with what I'm shooting for.

I may be barking up the wrong tree, as I done many times and end up getting embarrassed and insulted about only because I follow what I believed were good ideas, but I am trying to return to school to make up for my past negligence. But lack of funds, work, and the load of this piece of shit called babysitting has been making me upset. I tried to balance writing and "training", since I did manage to do one chapter of Calm before Sword sequel, but I'm focusing on one thing only on a day. Writing still requires forme to do a lot of research and planning, and when I do a chapter, it extends beyond expectations. For example, I try to go for 500 or 600 words, and then it ends up being over 800 or 1000 words (but that usually means I'm having fun). When it does, it takes more time; then there's the proofreading.

With work and watching over someone, I couldn't help but think about making money from home. It just popped into my head as I felt desperate.

If I could make money from home, especially from writing, I think that would be fantastic. But I can't. Because I am ignorant. You make money for blogging about knowledge. I can't blog about parenting, about architectural services, how to fix your house or your car, American history, translating into English, etc. Further desperate, I wanted to create a wider fanbase by uploading my stories elsewhere such as AsianFics and FictionPad. Therefore, I could find connections. Stupid or not, again, barking up the tree, I stikk went along with it.

There is nothing that I have for myself. So because I am not of high scholarship or magna cum laude, I have to work extra hard to get awarded or a better living. Background story is too long so I'm leaving it out.

I am so determined now because I made the choice for myself and looked back, wanting to stomp on mistakes and see if I was doing the right thing this time. I am an ambitious type when I want to, maybe that's why I produce so many writing plans. I really want to show you my [story] ideas.

Just like I want show myself and others that there's always a bright future.

Hang in there and please enjoy my stories. I still update my blog, twitter, and my profiles, telling you what I'm up to.

"Imagine a World without free knowledge".

First, I'd like to say that I am sorry for not uploading anything last week or this week. I'm still surprised that is Wednesday. I was feeling under the weather. I had Rhinorrhea for some dumb reason too.

Anyways, this SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act; Internet Piracy) business has gotten serious, so I'm just taking time to reflect and ramble.

My icon is more of a thoughtful or "hmm?" face rather than angry.

Ask yourself, are you committing piracy?

Today, on my Wiki, in response to the protest, I wanted to type why I think Wikia can be useful. I was an amateur editor for Wikipedia and wanted to learn how to use the editing system. Because of that, BOOM, made my own database. It first started off as as experiment on PBworks, but it was difficult to work with so I used Wikia.

Today, I also want to honorably mention the LJ comm [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism, where the members commit themselves to fighting piracy. It is backed with facts and I appreciate the hard work. Surprises how people just indiscriminately copies from another.

Which makes me think: Would parodies on youtube fall into the piracy category?

I had more to say but I forgot. Again, it's a ramble, and looks like there is little to no point.

I was just looking this over and it made me remember what I had to work on. I strongly wanted to work on a single-chapter story based on the American Civil War. Theme is based on this song: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct06/articles/classictracks_1006.htm

I will work on Stalwart Silver. The first chapter has been uploaded already.

The story called "Spanner" I have very tiny thoughts on. All I can imagine is a red, intelligent motorcycle and a female rider with some cool gear (I think gauntlets or/and magnetic boots).

And for some reason, I can't get the idea of an organized crime story out of my mind. A female crime boss who is called a "demon" and is vengeful. Not much else I can say.
Here's an interesting article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/woman-mafia-boss-arrested-1086965.html

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.
