Just curious ... does anyone actually read The Half-Blood?

To anyone who'd like to check them out, I've fine-tuned the first three chapters of The Half-Blood. The storyline is still the same, but I've made slight changes and additions. So, er, 'til next time, then!

Deleting my stories rather sounds like a good idea to me right now. Let me know otherwise.

WARNING(S): 
          RANTS AND ANGER ARE TO BE EXPECTED. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BoO AND WOULD LIKE TO ABSTAIN FROM READING SPOILERS, I SUGGEST THAT YOU DON'T READ THIS THING.
          I have to say, though, that I didn't really like BoO. I mean, there was too much JASON THIS AND PIPER THAT, and I wanted more PERCY THIS AND ANNABETH THAT. I wanted more PERCABETH, not JASPER. I didn't get why Rick would place Percy on the sidelines and Jason at the center. And that bit about Percy failing to kill Polybotes and Jason being the one to kill him - plus that part about Percy's nosebleed practically awakening Gaea - that was so not creative, Rick. And I didn't like the way he made Percy seem weak, and Jason strong. I mean, Percy will always be my favorite, and I don't think he'd be dumb enough to actually charge towards a poisonous something. Rick, I feel like you lost most of your creative genius concerning Percy Jackson when you wrote Blood of Olympus. Or maybe you just lacked sleep. Or maybe you were sick. Whatever.
          I'm angry enough about the ending that I'm going to post my own version sometime this week. AND THAT'S A PROMISE!!!
          
          PERCABETH ALL THE WAY!!! ☺️

Okay, okay, I don't care if no one reads this and all; I just want to voice the things that have been plaguing me for two/three months now. 
          First of all, I don't know what I'll do about my stories. Maybe I'll finish them sometime in the future; maybe I won't. I feel exactly like Leonardo da Vinci, except for the fact that he's brilliant and I'm not; our minds are linked together due to our unpredictable natures. Both of us, I tell you guys, have trouble finishing up something, even small. I mean, I have the attention span of a butterfly or something even smaller than that! (which just adds to my increasing suspicion that I have Attention-Deficit Disorder.)
          
          Secondly, I don't feel much like writing. I mean, sure, you guys are great and all, but I need inspiration. I might be wanting a year of solitude, of rest from writing, because I have trouble translating pictures and sounds from my head to words, like in writing. I mean, I can feel it, I can see it, but I can't write about it. And that's why, fellow users, I am evidently distancing myself from my work. My wistful fantasies that involve Korean Dramas, (mostly Lee Min Ho) Jack Frost, (I've just watched ROTG recently; he looked downright amazing, and if he were real he'd be my perfect guy![tied with Lee Min Ho, I guess] Voiced by Chris Pine, oooohhhhh that lovely masculine voice of his---as they say, girls all love a masculine guy!) 
          
          I know, I know, some of you might be thinking of me as a liar. Shoot, I don't really care. At least I've said my part now. I hope I hear yours.
          (okay okay this week is exam week I just hate it why am I not using punctuation marks and all whatever I don't care about grammar very much but I'm a grammar freak/Nazi okay okay)

BLOOD OF OLYMPUS CHAPTER 2 TEASER/PREVIEW
          Luckily she had fast reflexes. A tentacle slammed into the place where, just seconds ago, she had been standing at. She rolled to her side and made to get her drakon blade out, but she realized that it was where she’d left it, a place which she was not inside right now. 
          “Leo!” she screamed. He looked up at the tentacles and sized it up immediately. Punching some commands into his controls, he came up with a bronze blade that glowed faintly despite the brightness in the room. As he thrust the blade towards her, she saw that he was holding a flask of what must be nectar, and a box which must contain ambrosia. She caught the blade in her hands, and at the moment she caught the second batch of mail, ambrosia and nectar, she understood what she had to do.
          “Run to sick bay!” she yelled. “I’ll hold these off! Don’t worry!”
          
          .......................................................................................................
          (more words that are not going to be spoiled hehe)
          
          What was she thinking, leaving Leo alone in the controls room? She spun around and opened the door that would lead to where Jason and Frank were. Sure enough, they were fighting the monster, which turned out to be a slightly larger – if not uglier – skolopendra they had fought off weeks ago. And Frank Zhang was weaponless.
          “Frank!” she screamed. “Take this!” She threw her blade towards him, and as a tentacle pummeled towards him, he caught the blade and sliced it into half. Jason was beside him, too, cutting into half the tentacles and slowly driving the monster away. Then she ran off. 
          
          Rough draft, people. At least my brain seems to be functioning well again, at least for the meantime.

@_Rylee_ : Thanks! (but I think I won't be able to finish it on time :(((( )

@Cream_Dream good luck!

HEY HEY PEOPLE PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE!
          
          I have just finished the first chapter of my BoO fanfic. (btw, it currently consists of 5, 612 words) It's in Annabeth's POV, etc., and I'm going to post it NOW! (once I'm done checking for errors and improving it) But I have big news.
          
          For a month, I may not be online that much. Why? Because I'm planning to enter into the NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH CONTEST, wherein you only get 30 days to write a novel worth 50,000 words or more! I mean, I'm not gonna post it up here or anything, but yeah, I'm going to try to write it! I've already formed an idea, and I'm going to write it starting tomorrow, because that's part of the rules. 
          
          So, yeah, I'm not really going to be writing fanfiction stories that much during the month of November and the first week of December. So expect few-zero updates from me during that period. I'm sorry, guys!

@supergreekgeek157 : It's inspiring to note that people actually read the ABOUT ME section of my profile..........I hope you continue to reach for your dreams. :)
          And thanks, btw, for loving my stupid little fanfiction! :)))))
