Hikaru no Go Vol. 4 (Hikaru No Go) (Hikaru No Go (Graphic Novels))

Well, I'm back! What a week it's been! It's been one thing after another, but it's obviously a good thing that I have been working recently. Of course, that means I do have a lot to describe though-_- Well, here goes nothing:
Monday: I begrudingly wake up at 5:00 in the morning. I have minutes to kill before I leave, so I read some Manga and just wait it out until 6:25. I get to work about 7:55. I dreamily assume that because I've been off a month and a few weeks that I would be eased back in...no sir, no madam. I get worked to the bone right away, setting up projectors, taping wires, moving things from one building into another building. Then by break time, I'm already looking to go home. But I stay a few more hours and leave at 3:30 P.M. I stopped by Borders to buy Hikaru No Go Vol 4, then I head home. Once I'm home, I take my shower and eat my dinner. Then it's writing time! I went over my Untitled story for about three hours, and came up with the concept for the next Arc. After that it was time for bed.
Tuesday: I wake up at the same time I did Monday. I did the same things I did to kill time, except I wrote a new flash fiction that currently does not have a home. I haven't even written it on the computer yet, so there's still work to be done with that. I got to work ten minutes early though. Tuesday was First Year Orientation, where Freshman stay over for three days and two nights. I remember doing that last year, and now I know how crazy the set ups are-_- Let's just say that I found myself in worser shape than I did when I came back home, and I had to stay an extra 30 minutes, so I worked until 4 P.M. Before I forget, I met two new workers: Marlon and Rachel. They will now join the suffering line. I took my shower and ate my dinner, but I didn't start any story writing until 7:15-7:30. When I did begin to write, I started writing the first chapter of the Bad Apple Arc for Sunday at BMN. I've came up with a general idea for the first two chapters, and I hope I can come up with more for this coming Tuesday. Then once I felt satisfied with that I went over my untitled story. At this point I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a long story or wrap it up. I'm stuck with 110 pages. But that was to be resolved for another day as I went to bed.
Wednesday: I really wanted to get up and go over a bunch of stories, but Tuesday took a lot out of me and I couldn't get up-_- I woke up around 5:50 instead of 5:00, which wasn't going to make me late from work, but joy oh joy, I need to get up at the time I suggest. I got to work on time, and immediately I had to help with a set up that involved using three projectors, some sort of video enhancer that allows all three projectors to show the same thing, and get it done by 9:00. Technically we finished around that time, except the students walked in around 8:45, so we were really rushing to get everything set up right. The rest of day involved more of the same moving things around, setting things up. I got to leave out when I was supposed to though. I went straight home, took my shower and made spagetti for dinner, then got to work on writing. I have one good news and two bad news: the good news was I became inspired to go over Fear again. The bad news was...I had to do some editing. Fear was one of the cuts. It pained me to do it, because I liked that idea, but the Fear/Courage thing had to go-_- I think the way the plot is constructed made it difficult to incorporate that idea. I'll have to try and use it the next time I do Fear again. At this point I debated coming up with another name for the novel...
The second bad news was I didn't feel like writing Origin today. The only thing I did was draw him. I'll upload it on the Great_Origin site, but I really need to write it. After going over the plot, I wondered 'what the heck did I do to deserve this?' I challenged myself by deciding to come up with an long and who knows when it ends serial, but now I started regretting ever thinking about it. I'm close to putting Origin on a slight delay, but at this point I haven't decided. Anyways, after three hours of writing and drawing, I went to sleep.
Thursday: I not only woke up at 5, I went over my "searching for a title" novel. In terms of editing, blood was shed--
No seriously, I literally had to kill some elements of my story. Ok, so maybe using this photo is extreme, but I got my point across. I did this for about an hour before leaving to work. At work, it started out the same: set up for the morning, bring things to certain places...then the afternoon came. At this point, the orientation is over. Yeah, so it's back to a summer malaise of people not requesting anything. All I did the rest of the day was break stuff down and bring them back to the office. Then it was around 2:25 when by Boss asked me:
Boss: What can you do...I can't think of anything...you know, I bet no one broke down Pope Lecture Hall--
Zero: I already did it boss.
Boss: ....I can't think of anything that needs to be done...ok, go home.
Zero:...Huh?
Yeah, I got sent home early. Well, somewhat. I didn't leave the office until 3:06 P.M because I was trying to sign my time sheet (we have to use it online now. Two words: EPIC. FAIL -__-) So I decided when I got back to NY, I was going to go to Borders. Which is what I did. I just read some manga like Bleach and Rurouni Kenshin (Just the Author/Artist's notes--they're usually pretty funny and insightful) When I got home, since I don't work on Fridays, I didn't need to worry about taking a shower just yet, although I ate dinner. The rest of the night was filled with me going over my story, which now has a title, but I'm not going to say it until it gets published. I still couldn't decide whether to take an extra break from writing Origin or not. Anyways, I went to bed around 2
Today: I woke at 9:00, and finished editing my story. As it turned out, there wasn't as many cuts as I thought. I had over 65,000 words at the start of the novel; around the end I had just above 59,000. But I had to read it over again (I'll probably be doing this a lot) so I can make sure it all makes sense and also catch some mistakes. I did this until 1:00, where I had to get dressed and head to Grandmas. I guess my break finally's here huh? Ok, maybe not so much because after this I plan on going over the story again^^ and maybe I can get a synopsis done by tonight while I'm at it, but I doubt it.
Wow...that was some week, huh?

Are you sure it is really 65,000 pages? Or it should be words?
@journal_of_murazrai - *looks at entry* what are you talking about? It says words, not pages *looks unconvicing* lol
Thanks for pointing that mistake out lol.
65,000 pages would be some serious writing! LOL
AAAAAAA BLOOD. o_O But sigh, I know that feeling. Sometimes details and plot elements of a story just have to go. No matter how badly we want to keep them. And sometimes we have to add elements even when we don't want to do that, either. :/
I need to get back to writing. I've been blogging sometimes, studying math... but not writing enough. >.>
@ModernBunny - Again, why are you selling your soul to the devil by studying math?
@rising_zero - LOL! It's not so bad. :P I'm getting pretty good at geometry. It's for the GED, remember? And math isn't such a bad thing to know, all things considered.
I still have to put more effort into writing, though. :/
Actually, I heard from Sachi that you actually write novels and publish them. I was wondering if I write it out, how do I get them published? o.o
ryc;
it's in order so just read from top to finish :}
lol yeah now you know, and what!? LOL i will never do summer school again...@_@
Woah..woah..did that picture of that girl just appear out of nowhere?! At first when I ventured back to reply to your comment I see that girl in a booth all bloody and gored out ..I was like "AM I ON THE RIGHT XANGA SITE!? XD"
Hehe" Devil she is xP Oy! So she was wrong about novelty [if that's a real word xD] So you actually published work...work. XD;; Ah and here I thought you knew about novel publishing..but! Your advice does work o.o
I think the outright sounds a little bit better but a little more complicated and difficult..because they have to like the story in order to help you out huh? Man that must be monkey doo hicky.. :l
But thanks! I'll see what I can do... .__.
@_@ Well I just came back to xanga and my eyes are dilated to read entry posts or see what's hip and happening..so that picture just WHAMED me
Hm. I'm hoping it's a success then..o.o
Well, I was wondering if you can see the novels yourself;;
http://afraidtotakeachance.xanga.com/
there's a total of 82 chapters but i only worked on the first half o.o and by backwards so if you read the very first chapter you'll see there's some chapers i havent even workedon becuz im having a writer's mess or a writer's block and i dunt know to format it to writing xD like i have the ideas just dont know how to write.
http://chilled-perception.xanga.com/
my newest but yet really old old old idea that i never worked on =0 so now im wondering if i can do that one too
Afraid To Take A Chance - It revolves 21 people. Each are connected to each other, some do not know each other but will learn to be involved with the drama. There are 5 people; Will, Eun Mi, Zeke, Dante, and Nina. The main hero is Butter, he's trying to at least settle the peace between the 21 people. But of course you won't be able to read that because I haven't started on that section yet. The drama is about getting along, or backstabbing or revolving in manipulation and destroying each other, ripping to shreads by power of words, or, by power of physical harm. :o
The second link, I just started 4 days ago. It's only 4 characters that are each on a mission to find the Panacea medicene cure. And because in their countries, there is a virus that spreads to everyone, infecting those who aren't non-human and turns them into more foul creatures o.o So basically zombies with more of a killing and ghogeghe stuff. To cure it, the 4 people have to team up and find this one old man called the 'Valiant Alchemist' who can whip up the medicene and possibly cure their home lands. =O
A lot of work indeed O.X But okay, thanks for rea--erm wait you're actually reading it? XD
0.0 ...wow that's radical then lol. I haven't asked anyone to technically edit. I just wanted people to read and give me their opinions.
what!? LOL there's a left module thing that you can jump from preface - chapter 41 XD actually...*COUGH COUGH* there's actually 41 MORE chapters but I'm trying to finish the 41 chapters up and editing them perfectly before i can work on the other 41 chapters...cuz those chapters will review the first 41 chapters to make it more.idk more sense? xD i dont write good in third person, so i made the last 41 chapters to more...first person 8D
=o why thank you very very mucho much!
