The Delay Is Over

I'm going to do a double post tomorrow.

A Dead Oaks section over at deadoaks.blogspot.com and a short story here. Depending whether or not my cousin enjoys it.

Another delay.

Deadlines Are Terrible

Hello,


Deadlines should be realized as a fake idea. Especially when they're self imposed. Due to life's random bullshit, I am more than often having to resort to missing by a few days because I procrastinate in the first place, resulting in something stupid happening meaning that I've gotta push things back.


I would impose "Deadline Weeks" but what the hell will that do for me with a weekly installment project. And also, I would just procrastinate until the end of the week, blowing the "Deadline Week" anyway. This is why I need an editor, or a partner, or a paycheck to motivate me to get things in on time. So until then, if I have any readers at all, it is up to you to help me to finish on time by demanding it. 


Corey has done well so far.


That said, I'm working on tonight's submission. It should be up tonight, depending on whether or not this coffee shop gets attacked by aliens.

DEAD OAKS, Chapter Two

Chapter Two of DEAD OAKS is now live.

Go read it.

Now.

I'll post about my struggles with deadlines tomorrow.

CHAPTER 2

New DEAD OAKS section in an hour. Promise.

I've decided to split off Anna to a different blog. I'll post that if and when I decide to. At this point I'm even somewhat open to cutting her completely.

What do you think? Do you want an extra, meta-story to float above DO?

CHAPTER ONE

Haaaaay everybody.


Sorry this got off to a late start, seeing as it's technically Wednesday, but hey, I don't owe you guys anything. Right?


On that note, please start reading my new blog novel, DEAD OAKS, which was kicked off with the first, albeit short, chapter a few moments ago. BE SURE TO READ the intro post by Anna, because it's part of it all. It's right below the first Chapter. Also, I like feedback, so let me know what you think.


I'm still on track for Chapter Two to be next Monday, and it will be lengthier, I promise.




Enjoy!


EDIT: I changed the age of Roman for some reasons. If you read it when he was much older and thought it felt off, the new age is much better and more interesting.


EDIT 2: I'm thinking of splitting the Anna posts from the Novel posts, lest it gets confusing later on. Have Anna have her own blog about it, and keep the novel blog strictly novel. Anna is going to become sort of a meta-story over top of the novel. What do you think?

Apologies

Tonight was my first official night at my new job, I may have to push DEAD OAKS back to tomorrow, but still keep the Monday timetable for further installments.

Sorry to those of you who were excited.

DEAD OAKS

Hey guys. Remember that novel/blog idea I had?


It's begun. Expect the first chapter sometime tomorrow, Monday. Here's the link: DEAD OAKS. I hope everyone will enjoy it as I work through the experience of writing it. Feedback is welcomed, and let's get you all hooked. 


HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND, GUYS.
