Once Again, We're Back to This

It's been about a year since the last blog post I've written, and now I'm starting over from scratch. For what I think is the third time? Fourth? I can't remember.

Things are a lot different now. I finished college last year and now I have a Diploma in Mass Communications, which means I can get a job in the media and try to sell you things. And other stuff but mostly it's about selling stuff to you. The masses.

I actually didn't go to my graduation because they wanted us to pay for the event. Heck no.

After graduating, I worked for about a year at this company I did my internship at, but that's over now. I closed that chapter because it wasn't right for me, and I wanted to study some more. So that's that.

I'm now waiting for university applications to open, which means I have some extra time on my hands. That time is being used on a personal project. Specifically a manuscript for a book I've been writing in my head ever since three to four years ago, but never had enough time to really make it work.

"Ah, yes. Perfect time to kill this character."
I'm now on Chapter 17, 33,200 words in (halfway point), and slowly working my way towards finishing it. The progress is sometimes slow, other times it just pours out of me, but progress is progress and that's good enough in the long run.

Now I'm back into blogging, because this reporter asked if I post my work online and now I feel like giving blogging another shot. Maybe now that I actually have some time to spare I won't just leave this here till next year.

I'm Jake Lo, 22-year-old writer working feverishly on his first official manuscript, taking breaks to play video games on Steam, and to sometimes write here, talking to you. Hope I'll stick around longer this time.

I don't usually look this creepy in real life. I'm actually a lot more creepy.
