10:51 am	Writing Confidence I have experienced much within my time in college, and I should keep a better outlook on things whenever I start to feel down. Paula Feldman, one who specializes in romanticism and British literature, has helped to open my eyes to many marvelous manuscripts of British authors and poets.  She has helped me to better appreciate these pieces, as it was only from the series of Brian Jacques that I first started enjoying stories whose origin were overseas.  I'm thankful to her for this help in better appreciation. David Bajo, author of The 351 Books of Irma Arcuri: A Novel, was my Creative Writing teacher in the Fall of 2008.  He saw my abilities firsthand and gave me advice upon that which I should and shouldn't do in a novel.  He was very helpful to me and I thank him for taking the time to help me in improving my ability. Robert Lamb, author of Atlanta Blues, was my Fiction Workshop teacher in the Spring of 2009.  He gave me kind words upon my writing and even told me that I have potential to become a great author.  I'm thankful in his review of my stories, as well as his support and advice for pursuing my writing endeavors. As of this writing, in the Fall of 2009, Dianne Johnson is my Children's Literature teacher.  She is an author of children's books such as Quinnie Blue and Sunday Week, and has seen the ability that I have in writing.  Added to this, I spoke directly with Joyce Hansen, author of I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly, and was given encouragement on pursuing my dreams of writing. Every once in a while, I tend to get upset at how there are so few online who want to give me the time of day.  To have so many that calls upon me as a friend, yet so few who look upon me as an artist.  What I must remember, though, is that there are those who do encourage me, who have helped me, and who still inspire me to this day.  The examples I give here are real world, of people I've met in person, but I also know that there are those online who, though silent at times, still wish me the best at what I do. I've done so much in college now, and have come far in my ability.  I should really keep a better outlook on things whenever I do feel down.  Whether I have few supporters who care for my work or a collection of advisors wishing me well, I should always remember why I do what I do in the first place: Because I enjoy it.

2:20 am	Year of the Rat Yes, I know that I don't post much here but, in truth, I'm not really one for life logging and such. But, yeah, in general, all's going decently with me. If I ever do have anything worth posting, I'll put it on DeviantArt in that particular journal. I do hope that everyone is well. Peace Out, until the next journal that I write.

12:30 pm	Resolution Complete Just for the sake of adding the date, I finally completed the one story that I spent so much time and effort into making. Two years of preparation and two months of prior story work, and I've now completed my endeavor. I don't know what'll be written after this, though; Time has the answer but, at the moment, I don't. ^_^ (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:18 pm	Just Checking In Despite the fact that I hardly use this place, I think I'll go ahead and give a brief list of things that has happened this year. If anything, it's a chance for me to keep tabs on myself for future purposes...if that makes any sense. A picture idea that I had two years ago is finally being written. As a sort of "back story" for it all, I spent two months writing a fan fic called Realms Adjoined. College starts back up in August, and I'll be a Junior living in a good place on campus when the time comes. I help to take care of my aunt's four children whenever I'm at home. And...that's about it. Not much else to say. I've never been much of a journal or "diary" person, despite the fact that I like to write. Peace Out. (Comment on this)

2:45 am	Informing I've had this account for quite some time now, but I don't use it all that much. For those actually wondering about me, wanting to converse and whatnot, here is where I am located most often: http://dmajorboss.deviantart.com Other than the usual browsing of this place, I hardly ever update here; there, on the other hand, is where you can get usual updates. Thank you all for your time. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:36 pm	Just Updating Well, there's not much that I talk about here. I'm mostly at the Cartoons and Animation section of the GameFaqs message boards, and I'm also at DeviantArt. Hmm...I recently restarted my computer on February 11, 2005, and finished on the afternoon of February 12, 2005. And even though this is something I did in December of 2004, I finally created a set profile for Ryuyo. Other than that, there's not much to talk about. (Comment on this)

1:48 pm	Ed, Edd n Eddy Episode Idea Ed, Edd n Eddy has been one of my most favorite shows ever since it was released back in about 1999. I like it so much, that I even thought of an idea for a future episode. I thought that it was a good idea, so I even sent a copy of my idea to AKA Cartoon in hope of getting a response about the episode (and maybe even creating it). Here's what I've come up with: The show could start with Marie Kanker leaving her house because of the chaos that her sisters are causing, in which we find out exactly what happened. In her retreat from the house, we find Ed, Edd, and Eddy by the creek once again preparing for a scam. After all of the misfortunes that they’ve had in the past (a failed boat ride, a lost jawbreaker, a sea ranch that flooded the Cul-de-Sac, and the frog jump that never happened due to stinky cheese), they finally managed to produce an idea that actually seems to work. The twist to all of this, however, is that Marie Kanker is around. She wants to get closer to her “boyfriend” Double D, but doesn’t want to attract the attention of Ed or Eddy. So, for the most part of the episode, we see her use subtle hints to try to get Edd’s attention, which in turn hurt the scam itself, eventually causing it’s downfall and ruination. At the end of the episode, May and Lee Kanker find Marie and apologize for what their earlier actions, while Eddy is upset with Double D for ruining his scam (Double D is perplexed as to how it is his fault, and Ed is messing around in the debris of their work while in his “happy place”). It is at this moment that the Kankers reveal themselves and either chase after the Eds (the episode ending in them running off after them), or with the Kankers using the Debris from the scam to trap them and proceed in kissing them. So, to anyone reading this, what do you think? (6 Comments |Comment on this)
1:41 pm	Ryon Rising I've been working on the third story of the series for a while now. It's half finished, and I'll probably release it by the 1st of September. Other than that, there's not much else to do... (Comment on this)
