What to do but go on?

I've been in an emotional spiral as of late. I haven't been reading, my writing has slowed to a crawl again. I've been wasting hours on pornography and moe metal tracks on youtube. My schoolwork has suffered my gaming has slipped back to nowhere.(Though I'm slowly being reacquainted with it) I have no idea what my problem is. Maybe it's the further effects of my isolation.

The ideas keep coming in but the words won't go to the page. I'm trapped behind an emotional wall. There's a wound in my heart and the bleeding is keeping in ideas like a river.

Feh, enough. I've raised the barriers on my writing. Next time I'll try to give an introduction to my world so I can finally talk about my story coherently. Right now I have gas...

I lied

I said I would update regularly but I'm a very boring and indecisive man. Chaos is my mind. I do not know what to blog about and I'm too busy to post something that no one reads. I'll think of something next time. I have math homework to attend to.

The Threefold Path

Here are the three facets of my book A Nihilist Fairy Tale.
The Painter
A woman searches for her daughter in a magical world while pursued by a devious god.

Main Character(S): Michelle Cassidy

The Doll and The Madman
A young girl and a mysterious man seek to escape in a magical world.

Main Character(S): Eridaltia Thomas, Nuriat
The Fool
A soldier struggles to survive in a land on the brink of a massive war with him on the losing side.

Main Character(S): Gohei Kanahara

They're all set in the same world at around the same time. Good old Sci-fi/Fantasy tale set in a modern-esque world. Swords, sorcery, guns and bombs meet existential pondering and Cosmic Horror. My plans for these stories are grand. I might end up splitting these into their own individual trilogies. I have a lot of ideas and over 190 pages so far and I've barely begun. This is my first book and I must admit it's quite ambitious for a first effort. I've done a lot toward world building and learned a lot about world building. Naturally, the story is much more than you see here. The story will span about a decade, maybe more.


I've decided once again to use this blog. I will try to update with more regularity. I've been feeling poetic as of late.

The Last Sunrise Of Our Lives

I'm relaunching this blog. From now on no more references to things you couldn't possibly know. I will use this blog to profile my projects and help you get to understand and anticipate them. I might also use this blog to chronicle my theories on writing...maybe.

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Alex, I am a writer with a few projects in production. One a novel that might split into three. One a novella that might become a novel I'm not sure. I have not published a single thing. I'm in college. I have too much free time and no social life. My life has been given to the craft of writing.

My old first post was better...
