I know the deviations have slowed down lately, but I'm still writing, I really am. I try to write in my free time when I get a chance, so whenever I finish something, I will be sure to post it. I don't have much time to write now that I have a full time seasonal job. I seriously doubt they are going to keep me, due to my numbers being low, and they are hard to keep up, but I'm still going to try. Whenever I do get a good job I can rely on, I'm about to take a giant leap forward. Before I elaborate on that allow me to explain something real quick...

I don't know if many of you have noticed, but the Fantastic Horror banner is gone, that was on here( It was right underneath my Horror Writer banner, but of course it's gone now.)

The fact of the matter is I'm sick of sending my work to magazines. It seemed every time I submitted something to F.H. I got a," Oh this is good, but you need to work on this," and it was voted needs work. I submitted a total of 4 pieces to that magazine, and they were all voted," Needs work," Or it seemed they would just make up some excuse.

With that being said, I'm about to take a giant leap forward when I find a good job to hang on too, I'm going to submit my Novella Satan's House to The Writers Market. Of course you have to pay, but you got to give money to make money. They have agents that will work with you and your writing to get publish.

I have given this long and hard though, and I really think this is good way for me to start out. Not to mention they also take screen writing. So I will most likely send some of those in as well.

So if you all have been paying a close attention to my site, you would have seen that somethings are getting changed around. Such as my literature tag being changed, the about the author which I still have yet to do, and the quote in my journal. I feel that it's time I needed to change somethings around. Anyways...I thought I would let you all know I found a new job. I haven't started yet, but now I don't have to worry about paying my bills, and shit. Also, if you haven't noticed by now I took The Fantastic Horror Magazine banner in my journal down. Well, the simple reason for that is because I have given up on them. I was giving them one last chance, and if they reject my story I submitted to them which was Phone Call, that I was done with them. Well, they done worse then reject it, they didn't even bother to look at it. It's been sitting in the review section for almost 4 weeks now, I think. But no worries I'm hoping to either find another one, one that pays, or a publisher company. Yes, I said it...I think that when I finish my novella Satan's House I'm going to try to get it published.

I have 5 to 6 magazines picked out that I'm going to be sending submissions into. I will be sending in my newest piece The Darkest Alley, which I got really good feedback on, and I want to thank you all for that. I think farther on down the road we may see that short story turn into a Novel, or a novella, I know it's going to be one or the other, I've gotten a lot of ideas to put into it. So I think it will most likely be a novel, but that will be farther on down the road.

Big shout out to,"," for helping me out with editing, and rewording somethings in my stories to help me send it into to these magazines. I figured she would be willing to lend a helping hand in this, seems how she too is a writer, even though it doesn't really show on her site.

I've been stressing out about a lot of things lately. Money issues, preparing for college, just mainly stuff like that. I just found out last night that I don't even know if I can go to college, or not. I'm putting my hope in Full Sail University right now, seems how W.V.U.P. doesn't have online classes I can take. I wont have the time to drive all the way out to W.V.U.P. with this new job I'm getting. Even if they do adjust my work schedule for the classes, I wont be able to do it. I even went to that education connect thing to see if they could help me, needless to say that was useless. So I got back into touch with Full Sail last night. I was looking at what they offer for online classes, turns out they offer English, and Film. So I'm hoping that that will work out. If it doesn't then I don't know what the hell I'm going to do.

Life is still pretty tough, but I'm trying to get through it. My gloominess that I have been having lately, hasn't been helping any at all lately.

I know this is kind of late considering the fact, that it's been almost two weeks since it's happened...And there's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to come right out with it. My last job at Jcpenny's that I worked my ass off for, never called off from, and was only late 3 times, because I didn't have a car them...Well, they fired me. Me of all people they fire me; personally I think it's because the supervisor hated me. She was nothing but a bitch to me the whole time, that I was working there, and she had it out for since day 1. I didn't even do anything to her, she just hated me for no reason at all. I loved my job before she came into the picture and the whole week she was gone on vacation, it was great. But shortly after she came back they started cutting my hours. Now, remind you I have a cell phone bill, and car insurance to pay for. So I started looking for another job, because I wasn't about to let that happen. Well, probably about after two weeks they schedule me for morning shift instead of night shift, which I thought was really weird, because I was working nights. I came in, clocked in, was told to clock back out, and was called into the assistant mangers office...Teresa my supervisor was standing beside of Grace, the assistant manager. I was asked how I was doing by Grace and then Teresa said," The reason why I called you in here was because we have to let you go. You're a really hard worker, but you just aren't picking up the pace. Thank you for all your time." She said, shaking my hand. So I went back to my car pissed off, trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do. With that being said I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I have had a lot more time, but I don't have any money now. I was really bummed about it for the past few days and it still comes back to haunt me sometimes. Nothing really I can do about it though. Been unemployed for probably about 4 weeks now. Having to fall back on my savings for car insurance and my cell phone bill. Which won't last to much longer, because I only have 480 dollars left in savings. So it's probably going to be after Christmas, or somewhere in that area if I don't have a job, then I wont have a cell phone, or a car. Which really blows. So yeah, life has been pretty hectic for me recently. Posting part 2 of phone call and killing off Patrick's mom really helped me blow off some steam, if you were wondering about that. Hopefully life gets better.

So as you can probably guess from the title I didn't have a choice, but to invest in a new laptop. Needless to say, my mom was looking for a buyer for hers, because she never uses it. So I'm having her put it on my tab of things that I owe her. I really like the laptop as of far, the screen is a lot bigger then mine, and the whole lap is just...It's just freaking huge! But no matter I like it anyways! The only down fall it has is that it runs windows xp and I have been running Vista so long, that I'm not use to running XP. I'm going to have to redownload Microsoft word, and my Zune program, but that shouldn't be of a bothersome. Just thought I would let you all know, that I got a new operating system, and I'm in debt to my mom way over my head.

The Chevelle/ Shinedown concert was amazing. If you like either of these two bands I suggest, you go see them live. They are both great live. Sorry, for that little outburst, I just thought I would let you all know that.

The other night while I was lying in bed thinking of things; I had an idea that came to me that I thought was pretty brilliant, and it could possible bring in more views for my stories. For those of you that know me, you know that I want to pursue a Writing/Screen Writing/Voice Acting career, in which I'm going to college to study for this up coming year. I was thinking of ways that I could get more views/reads on my works, and as I did a idea popped in my head. Something that could help me practice with my voice acting. So I'm going to start recording myself reading my stories. Which means I will be doing different voices, sounds, things like that. My room upstairs is pretty much sound proof so I can be as loud as I want, even when my parents are home. I will save it to file factory, just like I do my Pdf's so you will have to get to it from file factory. All you got to do is click on the link, click download with basic, and it should come up with windows media player. Whenever I get the free time I'm going to record part 1 of Satan's House. So if you see the deviation pop up again, on your deviation page, you'll know why. Feel free to let me know what all your thoughts are on this.

As for my job I really like it. I'm surrounded by a bunch of nice people and it's a overall fun job. The cash register is a little more advanced then most places, but I think I can do it. I get to lift heavy things so I will be able to build up a little muscle. My first pay check comes in October 2, because I get paid every two weeks, but at least I know it will be a good one. I haven't had much time to write recently. I was off today, but I spent all day with Katie. I will most likely come home tomorrow, record, and try to work some on,"Phone Call," which is gore, and creepy as hell. I think you all will get a enjoyment out of it.
