USS Oregon

Hey man, just checking in. I hope you’re doing well and I hope life is taking it easy on you. Can’t wait to see you back and writing again. Good luck and stay safe.

You doing okay man you have an updated anything in a while

I hope you’re doing okay and things have started to turn around for the better.

Glad to see you're still kicking Sir Oregon. Sad that the factory you worked at was shut down but good luck on the apprenticeship! We'll always support you 

Just wanted to say I am still very alive, and am still chipping away at my stories. But life has recently not been good for 21-year-old me, though. 
          
          On May 1st I was informed that the factory I worked at would be shut down on June 30th, effectively rendering me unemployed. Not only that, I was part of a group of employees who were told that we were no longer to show up to work, but would still be paid like normal. And while we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later, it was still a hard blow on us. 
          
          Fast forward to now, near the end of August. I'm still unemployed, but I am just about ready to enter an apprenticeship course at my local community college in interior/exterior design (basically carpentry with extra steps and detail).
          
          Frankly not much has changed on this side of things, since my capacity and energy to write dropped significantly a while ago. But I can say this: the next chapter of ABL: Remastered is approaching completion. Originally its content was going to be two separate chapters, but the amount of filler material for both would have been excessive, so I'm combining and trimming them down to one single chapter that will contain both Oregon's first day(s) with Azur Lane and when he tells his life story. In simple terms, an absolute unit of a chapter (likely will be over 4,000 words, maybe almost 5,000).
          
          To save my own time and energy, his life story will be largely copied from the original ABL story, but tweaked, refreshed, and improved in places, not to mention historically accurate, which the original somewhat lacked.
          
          As much as it seems like I've stopped writing completely or just disappeared, I haven't. Sometimes I'll tweak the already published chapters for fun, adding small details that may or may not matter later on in the story, if and when I get that far.
          
          In the words of Bertrum Piedmont from Bendy and the Ink Machine: 
          
          "You may think I'm gone, but I'm still here!

Hey Oregon what you thoughts on the Iowa class battleships and how they kept operating until 1991 in the Gulf War

Hey Mister Oregon, what do you think of USS Olympia?

The renewed Chapter 5 is FINALLY done, ladies and gents! From here I should be able to pick up the pace again, if only slightly. 
          
          Things will be interesting soon, I promise.

Hello mate,can remodel your ship?

Wattpad's still being difficult with chapter arrangement, and the ABL Remastered story is already suffering. This time I decided to put my foot down early and simply cut and paste new chapters while deleting the old ones. It'll tank my read count and sadly delete your comments, but fortunately only chapters 4 and 5 were being problematic. #4 is republished, but sadly I lost part of the second half of #5 in the process. This does provide an excuse to clean that section up some, but I still have to go through the chore of rewriting that part again. Won't be back up for some time, but don't worry too much. 
          
          Chapter 6 WAS in the works, but I think I'll have to perform my rough drafts somewhere other than Wattpad, since I'm starting to think draft chapters left for too long might be part of the problem.
