Ok, I have not been updating as much as I'd planned to. I could say it's because of all the post-grad stuff seniors have to deal with, but I blew through all of that boring crap in no time. The real reason is because I've been distracted, It's been hard finding time to game and watch my vids and just generally have fun, but with summer here I've got all the time in the world to do so, I just went a little overboard. Plus I've also had to come to terms with the fact that the cashflow I expected to have this fall and beyond has effectively disappeared for the foreseeable future.

But screw all that, this is starting to look like a LiveJournal Anyway, I've decided to more or less clean the slate lit-wise, a bunch of ideas I have listed in the litHub have been in my head for years and years and years, they're stale, and I need some fresh outlook--That's where you come in.

I saw a quote that went "Read to learn. Write to be heard." and one more part I don't quite remember, but those first two are what's important. Let's start at the end "Write to be heard". I started here, making art and writing like I was trying to get fans' attention, so I could have people see my work and follow it's progress. Well, screw that. That kind of think has made my stuff pretty weak overall, and I'm sick of it. From now on my mind set as I work is going to be as if I already have a raving fanbase, large numbers of people who are waiting to see my work just like I wait for that of my favorite authors. I think this mindset of believing people really are going get into my stuff is going to help me improve quality.

This is the part where I need help
"Read to learn." I started writing by reading fanfictions and wanting to make something similar that other people could get into. But recently, I've lost that, and started relying on a small group of writers to update their stories, and those writers have stopped updating. So, I need new stories! I want you, oh devWatcher+ of mine to reccomend stories you enjoy so I can read them and hopefully gain some insight like I used to have. Let me clarify: I *DO NOT WANT NOVELS* I want fanfiction, original fiction, stories from online communities that would be hard to find on my own.

This next part is slightly more pressing. For my story JamOut, in the near future, I will be needing a song. Not a big-time song, a small, unknown song. If you're a songwriter/poet or a bandmember who wouldn't mind me using one of your works in the story (with full credit given, including a plug for your myspace or other website, or just your music in general), Please let me know through notes or comments. I might end up writing something myself, but only if I can't find someone else to contribute.

That's all for now, watch for a future litHub update probably sometime this week.
