Yes, Chapter 2 of "The Stars" is finally up, with all its flaws. Happy reading!

...so I decided to give an update on my story.

Right now, Chapter 2 has almost completed the revising gauntlet, and should be posted by the end of the week (if no major epiphanies occur).

Chapter 3 shouldn't take as long as Chapter 2, (seeing that I wrote them, unintentionally, at the same time).

As for my plans on future stories, I was thinking of writing an original episode, to test my writing prowess. I have a few ideas of my own, but I am open to suggestions.

Personally, I think that a good story can be portrayed by and media: movies, video games, TV shows, magazines, news, books, short stories, internet sites.

Looking back at my posts, I've written a lot of things, but all in the wrong place.

Recognizing my error, I will save my tips on writing for the struggling authors club, and maybe start a sort of thoughts club.

However, I will still do my best to post something daily to the sight.

Always Sincerely,

The Music Man

I have a few ideas I would like to write, but find myself unable to, so I'll just laundry list 'em and wait for the right mood.

Have You Ever Noticed This?

And hopefully many more. Just not tonight.

I love hearing the phrase, "I would, but I don't have time for it." It makes me roll my eyes and smile. Of course you have no time, you busy you; you have homework to do, classes to ace, work to get done, TV to watch, video games to play, and, most importantly, a facebook to check.

When some pony tells me this, they really say, "I would, but I don't know how to make time," or, "I am telling this because I really don't know the reason I that I neglect my stories."

Because I am not feeling like writing (or, at least, my brain isn't), I will just go through the report on my story.

Right now, I am working hard on Chapter Two of "The Stars", and hope to have it completed and posted by mid-October, or sooner. The problem is that being a college student takes up a lot of time, so I can only do so much for the story at any given time. Despite this, I will do my best to provide quality entertainment for my readers.

Always Sincerely,

A couple of posts ago, RxR (Reasonandrhyme) told me I was getting too "wax philosophical", so I will try to provide as much evidence as possible.

Have you ever thought how much of your mind is under your control? It's an interesting question, to think that you are not your own at some times ("you" in this phrase could simply mean your actions or the generation of thoughts). Or are you?

First, does anyone know how to manage the "Read Later" list? Mine is getting crowded.

Second, I didn't write a blog yesterday because I had a super hard test the day after (it took me 6 hours to complete!).

Third, I am not writing a blog today--other than what has been written-- because I'm all worded out.

Always Sincerely,

The Music Man

I believe that a novel idea is the basis of good writing. Heck, a novel idea is the basis of a good anything: Twilight, Harry Potter, Goosebumps, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Portal 2, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, countless Disney movies, countless Pixar movies, and many other stories that our generation craves.
