I signed up for my favorite class in existence this semester: Creative Writing. I was especially excited because this particular class has an emphasis on fiction. This means we have been focusing on short stories and novels rather than short stories and poetry. I love the class so far. It's really given me some insight on what I need to do with whats left of Decay.

The issue is my teacher doesn't want us working on anything that we began before this semester. I didn't have an issue with it because I wanted to start working on Zack's book. So for the exercises and the ten page manuscript I'm taking in to read Tuesday I have been working on Zack's book. I got onto our course summary online today and realized that my teacher has given me half credit or less on every assignment I have submitted so far.

The first was ten different story ideas. She apparently thought that all the ideas were from one books and I got 1/4.

The second was four characters each with basic summary about them, important scenes that they are in, and quotes that they would say. I got 2/4.

The third was an important scene where a character would go through a life changing event. She gave me 1/4.

So why am I getting the bad scores? Not because of lack of proofreading or my ideas not being sound enough. Apparently she doesn't want us working on the manuscript for class when doing the exercises. Working on one book is hard enough and she expects me three?

I don't know if I'm more irritated with my grades or the fact that I am this stressed over my favorite, and easiest, class. 

Ugh, anyways. I ordered so many commissions I don't know what to do with myself :P <3 I'm so excited for every single one I receive. Especially since I've ordered characters I don't have art of yet. I still have 2,300 points so I might be ordering more, tehe.

Sorry for the edit! Forgot to put features in <3

I recently ordered art from a few individuals here and have received two pieces back so far <3 
The first one I received was drawn by :iconpiyoa:

Chibi for xWickedxRosex by piyoa

Their names are Saito and Saedra. They are twin children of the Third Great Devil King who were blessed with the spirits of Dragons by the Elementalis Aeternal. (I know that makes no sense right now). I won't be working on/posting this story for awhile. The original manuscript is the second completed book I have written. I wrote it in 8th grade and it was a 121 page grammar atrocity. I will finish the Chronicles of a God -Eater trilogy, the zombie trilogy, two books for Emery's storyline, and Salz's book before I work on this one. Piyoa drew them really cute. It makes me want to write some of their story... maybe a sneak peak?

The second I received back was finished with great efficiency and was drawn by :iconactuallyleilani:



Layla Aphos. She is going to be the narrator in the third book of my zombie series. (I only have an exert posted of this atm). The first book is of course narrated by Zack. She's so cute in this picture <3 I am also receiving art of Sven from MissTinker so look forward to seeing that hunky piece of man candy ;D

Last feature, because I really love her art and hope I have a chance at this raffle:

It doesn't sound to me like this class that focuses on novels at all. Its a short story class by the sound of it.
