Rn, TME, is still trash, but recyclable trash, like good plastic.

So I just spent AN HOUR AND A HALF writing a middle chapter of sorts and HO-LY SNADOODLE SCHNICKERDOODLE A- COKADOODAL-COCKAPOODLE-DOO!
          
          How I'm gonna fill the in between, I don't know, but it flowed so smoothly, I can't even describe it as I typed it! I mean, it looks like hot garbage, but it's definitely a diamond in the rough! And it gets those brain juices PUMPIN'!!!

So, I have an idea. I'm an artist, and I have an idea - make TME into a graphic novel. I already plan to make single images for Wattpad, as well as a trailer, but I have character designs to use, so why not. Also, there are just some things I can't describe in words all that well.
          
          So, what do you think?

Hey guys! I'm here with good news!
          
          So, writing a book can be a drag, but that's okay. I know I wanted to have stuff out by last month, but school's been different this year as I chose online. I've also been drawing more, so get ready to see some art, and maybe even a trailer all made by yours truly! 
          
          In the meantime, I wanted to share the music I listen to while I have a streak of creativity, especially when drawing.

          Some of these are more "adult," but they fit with the book's tone and central themes. Some are fun, some are shocking, some are downright sad, which is essentially The Monarch Effect. I hope you enjoy it!

On my break, I've decided it's simply more convenient for myself to just write on paper, so I'm going to do that before I type it up during editing. Thankfully, I have a use for all the paper I've collected over the years since I'm part Mvskogee/Creek Indian (my grandma's grandma; I can get free school supplies). I'm aiming for the beginning of school, maybe later, hopefully, earlier. I want to get the first three chapters + Prologue nice and pretty before posting. Until then, just hang tight and pray for the best!

Alright, I apologize for ghosting for a while. I've decided to take a break from the internet for a bit (especially most social media, more so YouTube). I've been working and reworking The Monarch effect and have at least one chapter and a more aesthetically fit prologue in the works, which I will attempt to finish this week. Instead of jumping to the future, it's a flash from the past that progressively gets to where the first draft started (before chapter 10, I promise).
          
          Other addition will be
          - New characters (some were going to be in the original draft, I just never wrote them in; another introduction was even going to be in the chapter after the current last one)
          - More sensical explanations through context (following show, don't tell)
          - A revised plot with more mystery and more coherency
          - Updated characters for complexity
          - More accurate programs and Innerworld. (Still conflicted with the workings Tornadoes/Vortexes, however. One source says tornadoes protect an area, while another says it's like Spin programming. I guess it depends on the person.)
          - Samuel has been "demoted" to a general surgeon for realism. (Also more reason as to why he works at the school and not some nice hospital in Omaha.)
          - Samantha and Sammy will be renamed for reader convenience
          - Italians (you know the ones)
          - Alpha's origins and backstory, as well as improved dynamic (or gimmick, whichever you prefer).
          - Samuel's entrance into the Innerworld
          
          Things to be kept:
          - Dream sharing
          - Most flashbacks
          - Alpha's dream appearance
          - The homeless (if you're a reader, you know the one)
          - Others

ALRIGHT, PEOPLE!!! I'M GOING TO WAR ON RANDOM EXPOSITION, AS WELL AS PASSIVE WRITING!  Reading through the currently published draft has made me ANGRY! There are so many info-expo dumps in EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER that it's so hard to read! No wonder I didn't want to read back over it all, it was so booorrriing! My (undiagnosed) ADHD Dissociative brain can't handle this! It's supposed to incorporate education into something interesting, not be a textbook on a fictional cult based on real-life events. It's so bad, it's disrespectful to the people that went through all this crap!!
          
          So, I'm going to war. If I see anything with unnecessary exposition, or passive writing, I am going to fix it, be it publically, or in a personal journal or something.
          
          This is also a war on bad writing in general, so expect to see me on Onision's page. Who's with me?
