Time really flies when your writing and attempting to have some semblance of a real life...

In other news...

5/23/12 Right, time to get working on these stories once again. Its summer break for me and I'm running out of ways to procrastinate. Sooo, updates soon? Maybe?

2/10/11 I am very sad to say that Brian Jacques, my favorite author died February 5th. He was 71. His next book the Rouge Crew is being published on schedule, in May.

11/15/09 I finally got the Titanic cover pages up! Please click my home page button above to reach my DeviantART account where the pictures may be found!

6/27/09 I am setting writing prompts for Castaways of the Flying Dutchman! Read below for more information!

Castaway Kingdom Writing Prompts

Each month, I will post four to five prompts. Anyone who wishes to participate may write as many of them as they wish.

The prompt must be written as a oneshot, not as a chapter of an existing story.

The oneshots cannot be posted until the last week of the month, so that no one's interpretation of the prompt is clouded by what others have written.

The oneshots will be posted on your own accounts, but the summaries are required to state that it is part of Castaway's Kingdom Prompt Challenge, along with the prompt, and the month.

When you post a promptshot, please PM me with the story's name, so that we can add the story to my community.

Prompts for Summer 2012:

A Race

Snow Boarding

Rest and Relaxation

A Library

Goats

Last month's prompts can be found here http://www.fanfiction.net/community/Castaways_Kingdom_Prompts/71507/

Overview/About me

Well hello people. I'm Castaway5. I'm a guy, green eyes, blond, and now I'm a freshman in college. I spend a lot of my time running, not away from anything mind, just running.

Anyway...My favorite book is Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. I have this weird disease called Castaway syndrome which basically means I'm obsessed with the series. I don't know why.

I'm currently posting

Titanic It'll be somewhere near 30,000 to 40,000 words. Updates are coming people, it's just taking awhile.

A Spoof of the Flying Dutchman In progress, will be the entire story.

When you know you have writers block...

You’ve been staring at the cursor so long the screen saver kicks in.

You’ve been staring at the cursor so long you begin to think there are little people living in your computer, trying to communicate with you via Morse code.

You start talking to the cursor.

You type: “And then the planet blew up and they all died. The End.”

You can’t even think of anything to add to the list of signs you have writer’s block.

You decide to give up writing and became a Buddhist alpaca herder in the Pacific Northwest.

You decide to submit the book to the publisher the way it is and pretend it was written by an author who died before he or she could finish the manuscript.

Your heart starts beating in time to the blinking cursor.

There are cobwebs on the keyboard.

You waste time writing a list of signs you have writer's block!
