Master Gray Wolf

RECENT UPDATE(S): Thursday, February 7, 2012

The draft of Heroic Blaze SolAka's new chapter is complete. Unfortunately, babysitting took up virtually my entire day (and attention), and I was unable to proofread the draft and see if it's close to ready for a final produce. Hopefully, later in the morning, I can return to it. It is over 4000 words.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hello 2013!

To those who are reading and/or enjoying my stories, or are just visiting my profile, I hope that all of you are doing well. Last year was rough and sluggish for me, and I still apologize for my terrible pace in updating. I have been busy with mostly family care and employment, plus I've have been lacking confidence in my writing. Furthermore, after finishing drafts, revision takes quite a bit of time. I hope that in the near future, that will change and that I will push more passion into writing.

I have a lot of original fiction planned. For this new year, I really want my shinobi fiction series, "Seishin" to progress. From story concepts to characters, I'm trying to put a lot of time and care into Seishin so that it can express Asian culture both accurately and attractively. Perhaps I should make it my goal to upload at least 10 or 15 Seishin stories this year? As for Heoric Blaze SolAka, I will not abandon it. I am still working on the next chapter; it's difficult, and i end up revising a lot, but it is enjoyable. I am also concerned for future chapters as the plot progresses throughout the invasion. Please look out for it.

Stalwart and UWS are short and will still take time. For some reason, I can't figure out an ending and I fear that the plots will be utilized quite weak. I am good at setup/exposition, but afterward takes quite a bit of time. This is also the same case with SolAka.

Plese check my Wikia and/or blog for more information on my status or stories.

Take care!

Whew, finally. A new chapter of Howl of the Gray Wolf is up. I hope the next chapter won't take another 2-3+ months. Second thought, considering I have to do SolAka next, it just might. Before that, I may upload the intros of short Seishin stories. Uh-oh.

I still don't feel like I can correctly capture Japanese culture just yet.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, My new original fiction "Stalwart Silver" has received a favorite apparently from a very avid Irish myth fan. Wonderful!

Sorry, I haven't been the writing mood. I felt down and wasn't that focused or confident in writing. It's always why I'm behind in "Word/History of the day", despite LK messing up a couple times.

Questions I'd like to ask and (when I have time) answer myself. Just something to think over:


Why do I like BACCANO?
Why do I like BASILISK?
Why do I like Y + M?
Why do I think will male a good ninja story?
How to make a compelling story line/plot?
What causes negative criticism?
Why am I slow in thinking up plot (or why do I find it difficult?)

In my previous entry, I stated that my computer had just returned from the shop because it was attacjked by viruses. Some files were removed of course, including a folder titled "FANFIC" which contains documents regarding info about my works.

The good news is that I backed up my "fanfic/fiction" folder to megaupload. The bad news is that it was uploaded back in June 2010. So I lose recent changes to my documents.

However, there is a text file or two I saved on a CD. Some things are better then nothing, right? I'll go see what I have.

Thank goodness for Wikia and Blogs. I will be using them more to store info.

Further bad news: Still have Writer's block.
