UPDATES (newest first):

*Hello there! In case you haven't noticed, this blog hasn't been active in quite a while. I'll update some of the information but I'm debating on coming back here. Due to some agreements between me and a few other people, the rest of Drop Point won't be released on this website, but will be soon available on Amazon for eBook and paperback! If you're reading this, thanks for taking interest! (1/23/14)

*Act four is nearing completion! Hopefully I'll get it finished before I have to leave for Jamaica, but I might not.
That's....
All I have to say.
Awkward.

*Change of plans: to avoid confusion, I've changed "Episodes" with "Chapters" and "Chapters" with "Acts". Much more fitting, if you ask me. Also, I am noodling around with a sequel in my head. Not to give too much away, but it would involve a completely different (yet very similar) protagonist, a new mystery, and a new civilization threatening the well-being of the galaxy. (6/20)

*All of the episodes have been titled and outlined. I hope you guys love it! I planned the release dates so Episode 50 is released exactly a year after Episode 1. Pretty fitting, if you knew what I knew. Anyway, if I work hard, I can finish everything before school starts back up (the day before episode 31 comes out). That would give me 4 months to write the bonus stuff, edit, and figure out everything else. (6/11)

*Drop Point will be fully edited and include a foreword and other extra stuff! Cool, right? Anyway, it will be available on DECEMBER 21st, 2012! That date should be easy to remember. Chapter 4 is still being written and Chapter 5 is being outlined. I'm gonna miss you, Kyle Carter! (6/8)

*Deciding this: instead of making up all the episode names at once before I start writing, I'll just update the list and add episode names as I write them. It'll be easier on both of us. Also: Planning a smaller pseudo-chapter that will only be in the AESCODP. Wait...the Ace-cod-peh? .... No, that doesn't fit. Nevermind. It's just the AESCODP. Also, feel free to visit the updated CLASSIFIED page! Also here: [http://bit.ly/ClassifedSeries] (6/1)

*The Classified page is being worked on. Also: I would recommend you use the Drop Point main page to navigate the site. The blog's home page is jumbling up the posts all out of order. Sorry. See, THIS IS WHY I MADE THIS PAGE. Aren't you glad I put all this work into it?? It took me like ten minutes and stuff. *scoff* (5/25)

*This summer is going to be really jumbled up and weird. I'm working on a short film, two novels, and going to Jamaica for a week. No, that last one isn't really a vacation. I'm going in to paint little kids and hang out with walls. I think I got that right. Either way, when the finale of Chapter Three is up, I won't be around for a while. But I found something in which you might be interested [exiting blogspot]. Check it out. Have a great summer! (5/23)

*Chapter three is done. Strange Things update: the name is being changed to CLASSIFIED. A preview can be found here. It won't be out until Drop Point is finished because, dang it, I need to finish Drop Point. Also: Chapter four happens, for the most part, before Chapter one (and chronologically, before all of the other chapters), which is why it is also called Chapter Zero. It will come out in August, and then the final chapter in November, which will mean it took me exactly one year to write this novel. THANK YOU FOR READING UP TO THIS POINT! You don't know what it means to me. It's really emotional. (5/20)

*Actually, there were some difficulties with Strange Things. I'm still going to do it, but it's being pushed back. However, Chapter Three of Drop Point is on the way! Things get stranger all up in this shizzle.


*That's the last of Chapter Two, and the Omnibus is online! Download the revised two chapters, read some notes from me, and maybe leave a review on Lulu! I'd love this. The three things that run this blog include Spare Time, Red Bull, and Self-Esteem (oh yeah, and Blogger, but really, who cares about them, right?). You guys provide the last one. Thanks for sticking with me!


*After the release of the Omnibus, I might be taking a break from Drop Point to start writing Strange Things. Visit the Strange Things page LINK HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR THE TIME BEING.

*Episode 11 is posted and Chapter 3 is being outlined. Enjoy!

*Along with Grimm, I'm getting a bunch of short stories worked on for Hidden Strings. So the episode-writing is slowing down. But don't worry, I'll get there! Believe in me, guys.

*I keep getting distracted with catching up on NBC's new show Grimm. This is a legit show. Speaking of new things, did you know Drop Point is the first Sci-Fi thing I've ever written? I know, right?


*Planning Chapter 3. It will be even more exciting than Chapter 2.
EVEN MORE EXCITING THAN CHAPTER TWO.


*Have episode 15 written. I hope you guys like Chapter Two, by the way. It's way more exciting than the first one. Fight scenes, intrigue, etc. Legit.

* I think the reason I don't have episodes 13-16 written is because, while planning to write it all ahead of releasing is planning, it's not enough planning. Yeah. There is just too much continuity error in Chapter 1 to want to go through it all again. Trust me, it's better this way. Episode 12 is super long, by the way. No way around it.

*I decided not to have 6 chapters. The idea was to have them available as an ebook in sets of two, but I simply could not design this story with a sixth chapter. That's a lot of writing, after all. Besides, the 50 episodes thing is a nice number to end on. You'll find out what a drop point is in chapter 5. Then, we'll see if there will be a book two.

*I changed the release date from the 10th to the 13th, to preserve the order of Mon, Wed, Fri. You catch?

*Episode names, like I noted earlier, have been changed. I have yet to write episodes 11-16, but the rest are staying the same.

*Episode names are subject to change at any point until being posted online.

*The whole "can't outline/stunts creativity" is a joke. It doesn't stunt creativity, it just harnesses it. So I need to harness it to avoid continuity errors in Chapter two, and to avoid more gruntwork fixing stuff for the eBook format. I can't Pants it. I need to Plan it.

*It would be great to write multiple seasons with a total of about 50 to 100 episodes. I feel like this storyline has potential for many different plots, but I can't outline episodes because that stunts my creativity. I'll have to make it up as I go, but I'll try to make it riveting yet funny!
