So I started chapter 8, despite my real world responsibility's smacking me in the face everyday. This one should be a lot more fighting. I have the urge to have something steamrolled to death..... I'm not sure why....

If anyone has any ideas for a cool death scene feel free to share. I have a love for gory horror films of the 80's, so be creative. :P

I haven't decided if I wanna wrap up the lilac sequence in one long chapter or break it down into two. I'll have to see how it turns out first I suppose.

I have some sketches I'd like to put up too. Once I find a working scanner I'll slap them on here. Guess thats it. I'm going to try and have 8 up by Christmas. I get a week break from school, so I should have time. Have a great day!

Chapter 7 Posted

GAAHHHH!!!!, Chapter 7 is UP. FINALLY! Jeez, some cosmic power REALLY did not want me posting that thing. Fair warning, it's LONG. 35 pages on word. Pfft, longest one yet.

I really don't care for this chapter all that much to be honest. I think I could have done better. Let me know what you think. Chapter 8 should have lots of action. The Chief will finally meet up with the ODST's.

Let me know your OC favorites too!!

Now, I'm tired, and on alot of medicine. Hopefully I'll wake up tommorrow with some nice reviews. Have a great night!

Another Delay

For some reason my internet wants to freeze up everytime I try to upload the document for the next chapter. It's highly aggravating. So I'm going to take some time to edit while I run CCleaner and defrag to laptop. Maybe then it will stop being gay. Sorry about this guys!

A bit about Kevin Raines

I was wanting to put up some kind of a good visual as to what he is physcally capable of. My sister found me this video, with a perfect song too!

Rise Against flows perfectly with the type of personality Raines has.

For those of you who said Raines was a badass, well, he truely is. And this is only the tip of the iceburg with him :)

THIS is what our favorite sniper is capable of pulling off :

A Night on Garnet

Ok, so in order to get rid of a horrid bit of writers block, I posted a short one shot about my OC ODST squad. I like how it turned out, and it's very revealing of some of their background information. I actually had fun putting it into text.

Now that it's out of my head, I feel I can move back to finishing chapter 7 of Into the Black.

I'm almost done it. Just a scene on Persephone next. ;D

Go read the one shot if you haven't already! Let me know what you think!

I refuse to stay down!

Nothing can keep me down, not even being bedridden and doped up on medz! HA! Take that nature. lol

In all seriousness, I'm back to writing. Got 16 pages down, and a bunch more that needs to get written out. The one issue I'm having is with a scene with Cortana. There's ALOT of information to off load at that part, alot of important information thats crucial to the story. ( I hope you guys have been paying attention from the begining, b/c if you were, you might already have an idea of what I've got planned.)

This whole chapter is alot of conversations, and social situations. I hate that I'm not getting to action scenes with the chief yet. But we all already know he kicks ass in combat as is. ;) Infact, this whole next update is going to contain alot of important information, and subtle plot points, if anyone picks up on them. :D

So, unless I fall asleep with the computer in my lap (again ;() I hope to have this sucker done by tommorrow. I aim to have it up by this weekend, as writing is a great distraction from reality.

Also, for anyone reading this, you'll be the first to get a head start...

Start thinking about who your favorite OC is, and why. I've pretty much got a clear idea of how this will end already, but some parts are still changable and/or moldable. There WILL be deaths. Who? I haven't made up my mind yet. NO one in the story is safe really. Let me know through reveiws, or comments right here!

For now, I'll leave you with on of my favorite songs, sung by one of my favorite singers. This will be the song for an opera house scene that is yet to come ;)

Sick

I've been horribly sick since last night. I think I got some kind of stomach virus, and it has me ralfing almost non-stop. There is a migraine of epic proportions to go with it, so I haven't been able to pop open the laptop and write. Staring at a tv screen hurts right now.

Hopefully it will only last a few days and I can upload and drop the new chapter. It's almostdone anyway.

Have a good day.
