Changes to the Short Story Section
Some people may have noticed that Gopple’s main landing page has been changed (which would be impressive because I just changed it fifteen minutes ago after drafting this post). While the original release is still available, I have modified the short story and submitted it to a magazine. The goal of the short story section was supposed to show my experimentation with writing and growth as a writer. However, magazines want exclusivity when it comes to publishing a short story and that is why I didn’t post the newly revised version of Gopple for the public. Once the entire process is done, I will publish the new version of Gopple on the website. For reference, this process will take between three and four months. If they accept it, I will update the site with when it will be available in the magazine and when I can publish to my website. Thank you in advance for understanding.

Took a week off of writing to focus on school. I also finished reading Nine Stories. Back to studying.
Read MoreProceeding: 14-28 (Net Neutrality), My Comment
As a content provider who uses the internet to deliver information to my audience, I took the opportunity to comment on the FCC’s proceeding 14-28 or its more common name: Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet. Anyone is allowed to submit a comment on the proceeding, and I suggest you take the time to add your comment to the pile. Below, you will see my entire comment to the FCC. Or you can follow this link: “Theodore’s Comment to the FCC” and read it on the FCC’s website. For the record, anyone who knows me knows already knows this, I am paranoid so realize that both the address and email are fake.

Another busy week, so this will probably be a short writeup of the work I completed in the last week. The week has been busy, between work and my summer class, I haven’t had much time to write. But, the goal is to write at least 10,000 words a week. So, I stayed in and worked on Tesla’s Travels for all of Saturday and Sunday. That is why this post is so late in the day, I literally just finished up the thirty third chapter. Also, I was able to finish reading another book: The Suicide Shop.
But I am tired, so let’s get to the numbers for the week. Tesla’s Travels is now sitting at 55,152 words and is 33 chapters long. That means, I wrote 10,884 words in the last two days. I think, based on the outline, the rough draft will be completed in a week or two. Then to editing!
Read MoreCommitment to your Privacy
Over the last week, I decided to spend some money and improve my website. This was for two reasons: 1) make it more accessible with quicker load times, and 2) increase my audience’s privacy. In order to do that, I upgraded my hosting server with more “stuff” (super technical term) to handle requests and queries. Also, I have a few more tricks to improve the speed of delivery but didn’t enable these tricks, because they will probably take a hefty time configuring and testing. If you feel it is moving to slow, go to the Contact Me page, send me an email, and I will enable them.
But here are the great improvements to you!

This one will be short, because I am in Chicago with friends and took a break to write up a quick post. So, in the last week I have finished reading Light in August then started and finished The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea. Being home, it is hard to focus on writing because there are constant distraction.
However, I was able to get Tesla’s Travels to 28 chapters and 44,268 words. That means, I wrote 10897 in the last week.
