Oh! Alrighty! If you DO know what's gonna happen..

Thanks alot for your patience.

I'll wait as long as I can for the next chapter.

I'm not SURE of what's going to happen, it's just one of my always-wrong theories , but I'll see...

Hello, IDOJ world. Pedro here again.

First of all, thanks to everyone who waited patiently and who are still waiting patiently for this story to continue. I greatly appreciate it.

Sadly, progress on the story, while spontaneous creativity remains as active as ever, has been VERY dormant. Due to school, family, and as far insecurity in my writing abilities are concerned, this story is really not cooperating.

Fortunatley, I've managed to create a list of titles for possible future chapters of the fic, which I hope to post soon.

Plus, I'm planning to finally catch up on my TOSOT reading after many months of not reading it. So don't be surprised if you still don't see any more progress on my part on Comet.

I still want to see this story to the very end, though. Out of all the projects I've worked with til now, this is one that's begging me to finish. It's one of those stories that when it grabs you, you can't help but stay with it til it's finished and see it off into the world... or in this case, the hearts and imaginations of IDOJers.

So again, so sorry for my lack of progress and it's continuation for possibly the next few months. And again, thanks SO much to you guys. Your faith and belief in this story is more than words can describe and I should be having the same faith towards it as you guys.

[Mara=^.^=]

Keep up all your hard work and creativity, Pedro!

We all have faith in you.

Holy Snot!!

HOLY SNOT!!!!

Did I mention HOLY SNOT?!?

Well...

Thanks alot to my family taking me to see "Avatar" the movie on Friday, later that night, around midnight, I was FINALLY struck by the luck of inspiration and that I've FINALLY managed to form a more concrete plot in the thick of the middle past Phase 1, like, around Phase 3 or 4! THAT has never happened before!

All I can say is that, apart from some small changes to the Jimmy / Comet in the lab scene, now it's starting to look like a werid fusion between Star Wars and Avatar: TLAB!!

Seriously!

I'm offically HAPPY!!!

[J/C AVA]

Holy Molly!! It looks like not only the end of Part 5 might need a bit of an overhaul but maybe the fic intro too.

If so, expect a change real soon.

[J/C AVA]

Tsk! "expect a change real soon". What a terrible lie that was.

ANYWAYS...

Self-esteem issues aside, after many months of still currently writing inactivity, my brain has decided to produce an idea after listening to "Valkyrie Missle", the 2nd opening song of "Comet", which can potentially be moved from the opening to a later as of yet unwritten scene later in the fic. If that's the case then the opening song "Life In Technicolor" will remain as the opening song, until I decide to replace it with it's full song version, appropreatly titled "Life In Technicolor II", both of them by British Alternative Rock Band, Coldplay.

The only thing, though, is that I also LOVE "Valkyrie Missle" as the opening song because lyrically it gives an "epic preview" of things to come in the story, the feeling that something "emotional" and "epic" is coming when you read it. However the song has also a possibility of being an amazing introduction of another version of a "certain character" we all know and love, even though that's not even written yet (, ) but it has room for potential and growth.

So I'm at quite a writing dilema now, though nothing major yet. STILL no new material has been written due to classes and insecurity, but then again we don't need to hear anymore of that.

I would like your opinions on this, though I think that's rather pointless since it's all gonna go back to me as to what to do in the end.

Should "Valkyrie" stay in the intro or should it be removed and replaced with another song - i.e. - "Life In Technicolor II"?

[okmeamithinknow]

Pedro it's really your choice. You're the author.

[J/C AVA]

I knew my post was pointless

I mean, yeah, you're right.

[Mara=^.^=]

Come on Pedro, think positively! It may take awhile, but you can do it!

Thanks a bunch.

I guess just the demands of an expanded story... kinda overwhelms me, despite the fact that even though the content and bigger themes of this story is somewhat "heavier", it did and still does from time to time have a "fun" feeling of "OMG! THIS IS GONNA BE SO FANTASTIC!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW ALL MY FRIENDS". Remember, this story is the first time in a while that I've undertaken writing an actual full prose story (that for the very first time). Up until now, most of my work has been nothing but poems and short stories from my kindergarten - 2nd, 3rd grade years.

And I just figured something out: Through out this whole time, I've been steering the "Comet" wave solo in a very inexperienced, novice manner, with little or no help from more experienced writers. Frankly, I'M LOST AS HECK! I REALLY don't know what I'm doing or how to get there and it's even worse by myself. I'm really, truly not a "details" orientated person, I'm more of a "big picture" type of writer. I guess it might be very useful if I had somesort of "advisor" to offer me suggestions, advices, pointers, etc, rather than having me taking this on all on my own.

Dude, just imagine if there was a realistic "Copy/Paste Function". All I have to do is just "highlight" the ideas in my head, which plays out marvelously like a cinematic musical movie, click, press "Copy", then drag the idea out of my head and towards the computer screen, press "Paste" and "PRESTO", the ideas are all instantaneously presented into fine, proper vocabulary structured words and sentences, just like an experienced writer! Man, that would make writing SO MUCH easier!

I guess I could REALLY use some writing help/pointers/advices/etc. Unless I've asked this before.

[J/C AVA]

Anyways, thanks a bunch for your support, guys.

I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry for my constant ranting. I guess it's just over exaggerated frustration at just how slow the story is progressing and my inability to skillfully finish it quickly and effectively. But like Mara said, it's gonna take a while - and alot of effort...
