Special Project to Thank My Lovely Followers

If you all follow my Wattpad messages and updates, you may have caught a post that I did earlier this week about wanting to thank all of the people who follow me on the site.

I mentioned that I wanted to do a little special project when I reach two thousand followers.

(Originally, I wanted to start the project when I hit one thousand; however, I hit that number while I was on my forced hiatus.)

Click here to follow my wattpad account.

I figured that because not many of you follow this blog, it'll be a little way to share this secret with the few of you that do follow me on here. Consider this a big THANK YOU for being so wonderful.

With all that being said, I would like to WRITE A STORY WITH MY WATTPAD FOLLOWERS!

When the time comes, I want to ask my followers to give me specific details to use for the basis of a story for all of you guys and gals.
That would include setting, character names, traits, plot points, etc.

Of course, I'll go more in depth about it all when the time comes, but what do you guys think?
Does that sound like a good idea?

Thank you guys so much for your support!

xoxo - Mason

Finally some dang time...

If you keep up with me on Wattpad, you are well aware by now that I have finally had a moments breath to ACTUALLY sit down and spend some of my time writing.

I've updated both of my ongoing stories, and I've been working on some new and lovely things to present to you all in the very near future!
I'm still working on the story I mentioned in my last blog post(quite some time ago. Sorry guys..), but I am ALSO working on another story that is going to be brought into the light once I finish one, if not both, of my ongoing stories.

Keep an eye out for some new things, guys and gals!!

Maybe I wont keep you all waiting nearly as long ;D.

Sneak Peak :D

I'm working on the beginnings of a BRAND NEW STORY! It's going to be my first MATURE manxman story, and I'm pretty pumped about it!!

I don't want to talk about it too much, but to the ones that follow my blog, I'm going to share with you the working cover. This is subject to change, but right now, it's the one I'm planning on using <3

What do you think about it? Hm? hehe
Love you all!

Imaginary Update (:

As of this morning, I logged onto wattpad to find that my story Imaginary is now at 19k reads and working towards twenty thousand reads!

I never thought this would be possible <3

Thank you all so very much!

Also, updates will be a little slow due to the fact that I'm visting my best friend in Colorado(:
Forgive me?

In Just Two Months...

In just two months, I have managed to work my way to nearly 150 fans on wattpad <3

My story Imaginary has OVER 15k reads as of 8:45 AM 9/24/2012

My short story As Time Proceeds is working its way over 2k reads

AND my most recent story Souls Entwined is working it way to its first 1k reads <3

On top of my stories doing so well, my total votes for my stories is working its way to 650 :D

The response that I have been receiving has been so wonderful that I can't find the right way to thank everyone for giving me something positive to look forward to(:

All I can do is do my best to continue to work on writing for all of you and giving you all something to read and enjoy.

Mason's Tips for Writer's Block

I have noticed that quite a few people on wattpad complain about writer's block.

I totally agree that writer's block is one of the most crippling things a writer can experience if you let it cripple you.

Click Pickover's Tips for Writers has quite a bit of useful information if you would like to check it out, but I am going to compile a list of things that help me get through writer's block.

1. Take a step away from your work.
      If you find yourself absolutely stuck on your writing, and you're pulling your hair out in sheer and utter frustration, simply take a step back. Give yourself a little break, but don't let the break transform into anything much longer than a few hours.
     The main goal is to get past whatever is blocking your writing, not ignore it.

2. Reread what you have written to pinpoint exactly where you are stuck.
     This will help you isolate the exact point in your writing that is bothering you. In my case, when I get writer's block, it's because there is a specific part in my writing that I don't like or I believe doesn't work. All I have to do is rework my writing until I like it.
     This takes time, but in the end it's totally worth it.
3. (This one is my favorite) Listen to music that inspires you.
     This is more of a tip to avoid writer's block all together. When writing, I listen to my musical muses, and I highly recommend that every single writer out there sit down and find music that inspires you.
     In my case, I listen to Milla Jovovich, Marina & the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, Florence & the Machine, Tori Amos, and Lana Del Rey. Something about the combination of their music just keeps me going, and it honestly helps me avoid writer's block completely.

I hope this help any of you, and if you have any questions, please drop them in the form of a comment(:
Also, if you have any tips for writer's block, please share them below :D
We could all benefit from it <3

Imaginary: My First

If you are coming here from Wattpad, I am sure you have read this story of mine (considering it is the most popular story I have up at the moment).
If you haven't, here is the link :D
http://www.wattpad.com/story/1766778-imaginary-boyxboy

I finished writing the whole story two days ago, and I am in the process of uploading the last few chapters to my account, and I have to say that I'm actually rather sad about the whole thing. Honestly, it's more of a bittersweet sadness, but it's still a sadness.

I joined the Wattpad community less than two months ago, and I have already been gifted a story that has reached over 5000 reads! and over 80 'fans', and I believe I owe it to this story.

This is why I'm sad to wrap it all up and tuck in all the corners. Imaginary was my first, and may possibly be my favorite; however, I am definitely looking forward to the future with my new story ideas and sharing them all with you.

Thank you all for making this a wonderful experience with me, and don't forget to keep checking up on Imaginary and my new story Souls Entwined http://www.wattpad.com/story/1836835-souls-entwined-boyxboy

This story will become my main focus once I finish Imaginary (:
