Breakout Early Release!

Hey there!

I know I said I was going to release Breakout at the end of last week, and I apologize for the delay. It is the holiday season after all. I'm getting lazy...

Anyway, if you're interested, you can go on ahead and read a few chapters of the beginning, all totally new, if I may add. If you've read Luke before, you know sort of what will happen, but now I've provided a background to the tale and Luke now has a brother named Zach. As soon as I connect the background story to the part I wrote initially, I'll publish the page, but for now, you can view it on the site below. Happy reading!

Luke Update!

Hello there,

I've been busy studying for finals, so I apologize for the lack of posting lately. The things finals do to your brain...

Anyway, I bring you a Monday Musing (it's probably under this post) and I was hoping to give you a nice long Luke update with two installments to compensate for the lack of them, but I couldn't get it all done. However, I did put up Installment Four. It's not as exciting or as long as I would've liked, but I hope you enjoy it!

-EDIT- Due to many reasons, the Luke page will be down for the next week or so. I need to make some major changes to the beginning due to its tackiness and some awkwardly worded sentences. When it returns, it will officially be called Breakout and it will be much, much better...there will be deeper connections and more character background to make the story more down-to-earth. If you've read the story (which I'm sure only a few have), I suggest you read it again when the story is posted. If you have not read it yet, I hope you will someday!

Here is a brief synopsis:


When Luke, his brother, and a group of his friends commit a petty crime, he finds himself in the middle of a prison break in. With mysterious serums, mindless robots, and a dystopian world where everything has to be pristine, it's up to Luke to free his brother and, with luck, the rest of the boys. 

Luke --Update!--

I would say I've been working diligently to get this story done, but the truth is, I'm not. Oddly enough, I was strolling through aisles in the bookstore and came across a book called Lockdown, by Alexander Gordon Smith. A first book in the series Escape from Furnace. This book is about an underground prison that keeps juveniles about a mile underground for permanent incarceration. Sound familiar? Yeah. My story. I can't see myself writing something that's already been done, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to start a new short story thread. 
The characters will stay the same, but I'm taking a different route in writing it.


If you really liked the whole prison idea and wanted to see where it was going, I strongly suggest reading Lockdown, and it's teen fiction, so it's probably as gruesome as mine was going to be (if not more). I started reading it a few days ago. It's actually really good. A lot more frightening than mine was going to turn out, but also a lot cooler.
Here's the covers of the books, to give you a better idea...

I hope you understand my dilemma here. Why on earth would I write a story that's been already written? It's like writing Brave New World or even The Odyssey again with a small twist in the plot and change in characters. 


But anyway, I posted the next installment of Luke, in a whole different direction. If you already read the first part, read it again since I changed it a bit.


I would love it if you'd let me know what you think! You're more than welcome to comment on this post, or on the "Luke" page (located on the top navigation bar). 
If that idea doesn't work for you, you can email me at hana93@gmail.com and let the subject of the message be Luke.


New installments will come every other week, so stay tuned!
