    Not sure how many people who read ADITLOGF regularly actually read this blog, but if you are I'd like some feedback on my past story. Tell me the things you like or disliked. Too many memes/images? I'll be honest: It's been a while since I wrote for it and I'm a little rusty on that style of humor. This is your chance to influence the next story, so don't be shy!

    A Day in the Life is back and better than ever. I didn't get any feedback whatsoever on my blog post, so go post it in the thread instead! Remember, you're the boss*.
     
    Don't forget to check out Nuparu's Greed too. Links to both are in my signature.

    I'm thinking about making a sequel but I really doubt I'll have time. Remember all those "I'm so busy guys!" posts from years ago? Yeah, those were high school posts. College is a completely different ballpark. I'd love to get back at it though, writing comedy for you guys was fantastic and I'd love to do it again if I have time.

    Hey guys. Chapter 5 was released yesterday so go check it out. It took longer but it's about 2800 words so there's your reason. That's probably longer than one of my entire comedies as a newb, true statement.
     
    Chapter 6 may be up tomorrow. Tuesdays are usually easier days for me and I don't have much lined up.
     
    Also the Ravens game last night was incredible, great comeback at the end.

    Honestly guys this week has been a mess. Two tests, a major presentation, an interview, a club meeting, and all sorts of fun and exciting stuff will probably keep me from posting something until Friday. I know I said that it would come on Thursday, but then life happened. Believe me, I'm unhappy about it too. It takes a decent amount of time to write this stuff; these chapters are anywhere from 1200-1700 words recently.
     
    On another note, I probably will be entering the short stories contest eventually. There's a lot of potential with the theme this time around.
     
    Again I'm sorry about the delay. I was hoping I could keep to a schedule but I really mismanaged my time. Hopefully I can set things right after this set of tests are done so I can keep up consistent chapters.
     
    That said, if I get it out tomorrow by some miracle I won't expect any complaints.

    Hey all. I rushed a little on Chapter 2 - usually I do it in the morning before my classes but thanks to an alarm issue I slept a little too late to finish writing it. That said, I may release Chapter 3 this weekend if I get a chance. I still have a lot to do but if I'm free Sunday or Saturday I may finish outlining the chapter and release it outright. This isn't a guarantee though; if it's not here by Sunday at midnight don't be upset. Just assume it'll be here Tuesday (and it will).
     
    Someone mentioned a sequel to Nuparu's Greed in the short story topic. I'll consider it. It's a lot of fun developing a human character out of a Matoran. I can use it to convey a message in the story that the reader can look at and think about.
     
    Just a writing tip for the 5 people who read this blog: a message is important. I can get away with randomness in a comedy but in a more serious fictional venue you have to connect to your audience or they'll lose interest. Galigee's epics, for instance. All of them had a very human side to the characters and I enjoyed reading them. Bonesii (I think?) puts together some good stuff based on the canon but goes more into character development. Another good one I remember was The Turkey Shoot. I can't remember much about it, but it was awesome. If you have your own universe of characters, you'd better be sure you make them interesting or people will have no incentive to pay attention to them over Tahu or Kopaka.
     
    Also, Sunny was hilarious tonight. The looting at the end was hysterical.

    Hey guys, it's not GregF yet but it's a short story and I'm pretty sure it's one of my first cracks at one. It's about Nuparu as an engineer on Metru Nui. Go give it a look, the link's in my signature. Also, don't forget to give feedback on A Day in the Life on my blog. I'd like some pointers for the sequel.
