Story writing proper.

OKAY OKAY, I know that it looks REALLY FUNNY. But ever since my third novel, I realized that it feels really good when you have a guide while writing your story. Laugh if you want, but don't hate me for being so obsessive compulsive! It's my writing style and I like it. AND hey, you just might learn something from me (AY GRABE ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA KO).

Ahhh, I'm so in love with my characters talaga.
Okay, it goes like this... I'm writing two stories at the same time, haha. One is a "collab" with my friends, the other is this story which you're all tracking. So, I have SO MUCH CHARACTERS NOW. And I love them all, haha.

SO ANYWAY, to get back on track on my other story...

If you didn't see the bottom part of this journal, I'm keeping all my dA submissions, both literature and art, here in ~lexaiii. I realized that, I don't submit stuff much anymore in this account, so making another account will make me ditch this one totally, which I really don't want to do. So yeah, no need to go through the trouble of adding another me.

Alright, I came up with names for the setting of the story.
The city's name is Xaliere City (EXOTIC MUCH. ), and the university where all the characters are studying is called the Sakura Academy of the South. I KNOW THEY SOUND WEIRD BUT I WON'T MENTION THE NAMES MUCH ANYWAY. )
Oh and remember, the setting is TOTALLY FICTIONAL. I want to stress that I am NOT basing the setting on any place whatsoever, because my story is about the characters, not the place they're in. OKAY?

Alright, so I have my characters, I have my setting, and I've already made the basic plotline. Of course I won't show it here, because I don't want to spoil any of you guys (except for my dear friend . We're helping each other out on our stories). Hahaha. So to check out my progress, just scroll up.

So there, basically. Now you see what I'm done with, and what I'm not done with, and at least you know that I'm actually working on something! ) Until next time, this is all I have for now.

I still don't have a title for the story. But I'm planning to think about that only when I've actually got the whole story together. Not to mention, organized. I've got a beginning and an end but it's all seriously messed up.

I think it's the playlist's fault. I actually made up this story somehow by putting some songs together, but I guess I haven't been listening to the playlist so often so now I got the songs mixed up. Now I'm fixing it so I have "organized inspiration" (what the hell is that?).

But hey, you know what progress I made? I made up the characters names, and I have their roles! I usually don't make up names, you know, so it's a MAJOR accomplishment. Well, I got help from so it's awesome. THANKS KAL. I love youuuu.

Characters
~ Aika Rayethorne - the protagonist of the story.
~ Shinta Youhei - the "middle" character. You'll see why.
~ Celina Thompson - the evil slutty antagonist.
~ Paige Craig - henchman - eh, girl # 1 of Celina.
~ Diane Lagrange - henchgirl # 2 of Celina (YES I KNOW HER LAST NAME IS A SONG. Sorry, couldn't help it).
~ Kaine Arakami - the "ruiner". Once again, you'll see why.
~ Matt Lawley - a friend of Kaine and Shinta.
~ Arisa Rayethorne - Aika's sister.
~ Ken, Jin, and Kaito - the "reversers". Just wait for the story, okay?

The story does not take place in neither Japan nor in the US or Europe, as much as the names show you that. I just want to make that clear. This story will show you one thing I think is a huge problem in society (think of it as a satire of some sort), BUT I do not want to generalize most people to have this problem. I just have this strong urge to point it out. I only made the names Japanese/American/both put together just so the names sound original and pretty. Also, I made the names like that so I can place fictional characters in a fictional setting. Gets? )

Oh, and speaking of the setting, I still haven't made up a name for the university the characters are studying at, and the town the university's in. It's been my perpetual problem ever since I started the story. If you can come up with something, you want to help me?

OH, AND HERE'S A MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE:
I have a question for all of you. Please answer me.
Should I make a new dA account for my literature submissions, or should I keep it all here in ~lexaiii? Because I have a pen name for my written work and I plan on using it, but I can't since I'm already using this account, which has all my pageviews, favorites, watchers... god, it has everything.
So what should I do with that? Pen name or account with everything in it?
Okay, according to majority, I'll keep all my submissions here in ~lexaiii. After I asked, though, I realized that I'm not posting a lot in this account, so if I make a new one I'll totally ditch this one in the process. So, I'll post my story in this account. Now that's settled, I need to turn to actually working on my story.

Alright guys. That's it for today. I'll update maybe tomorrow.

Ahh, Saturdayyyy. Rest day.
