Born from the Ashes (Again)

and again.
and again.
and again.

I bet we're all tired of hearing me say that I'm back. Right?

SO, guess what, guys and gals, I have finally gotten around to buying a new laptop!!

<insert some cute picture of party hats and confetti.>

Shh.. just use your imagination, I don't have a cute enough photo! ;]

Anyway, I can't start working on my wattpad stories until I yank the hard drive from my poor deciesed laptop child.
(Let's all have a moment of silence for past electronics.)

I also need to buy a case for the drive so that I can use it as an external drive in order to get to the files on that hard drive. Until then, I've started working on a few little things to keep all my lovely wattpad followers happy.

I hope that everyone is as excited as I am to get back into the swing of writing. My life didn't feel quite the same without it, but now that I'm writing again, I already feel better, more level headed.

Thanks so much for all of your support guys!

Revisiting Old Story Ideas

If you've been keeping up with me on Wattpad, you know that I have finished plotting out the current story that I've been working on. Which means that the story will be written and wrapped up pretty soon!

Click here to read 'The Skinny Boy Tales'

As most writers are, I've found myself stuck in a place where my brain is swimming with story ideas, but I haven't quite figured out which one I want to tack down and begin writing. 

Because of this, I found myself sniffing through my story folder and thumbing through some previous ideas that I've had, and let's just say that I'm quite excited!

There are some new and exciting things coming your ways, guys and gals!

My Forced Hiatus has Ended!

Well,
My laptop is finally back up and running well enough that I can FINALLY SIT DOWN AND WRITE!

It's a wonderful feeling, and to celebrate, I've already put up the newest chapter for The Skinny Boy Tales!

:D

I'm so happy to be back!

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!

Tennessee to Colorado to Tennessee to Florida to Tennessee

Hi, everyone!

So, if you are still unaware despite Youtube and wattpad, I've been a little hectic right now.
I recently drove with my best friend's family (never ever again) to Colorado to visit my best friend in the entire world.
Here is a photo of us together (:

Anyway, I'm back home now, and in TWO DAYS, my family is taking me on vacation to Florida for two weeks.
Unfortunatly, all this traveling has made it rather difficult to write.
I'm thinking that once I'm in Florida, I'll be able to accomplish a bit more writing, but until then, I don't have much to upload.

I'm terribly sorry, but you can keep up with me on youtube and my facebook like page! (Links down below.)

I love all of you,
Mason

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 (:
