Draft of New Novella Posted to YWS
Jul 18th
I am trying something new this time around. I plan on posting each chapter of the new novella (Called “Art Murderers”) as I finish on YWS for suggestions on what needs changed, then I am going to finish the novella as a whole, print it out, then go through it all with a pen, taking some suggestions from the critiques I get.

Wednesday Status Report 7/15/2010
Jul 15th
Late again, as always. Well, I’ve been working on the novella a little bit, and it’s going okay. It’s going to require an awful lot of editing, though. It also looks like it’s going to shorter than what i thought, but i’m not sure. Anyway, i am going on vacation next weekend so I can finish the other half of my reports then, then work towards getting my permit. I am unsure if the novella will be done by the end of the summer, and it probably won’t, but I’m going to actually try this time to get it done (ie I am going to start using Write or Die XD).

I don’t have much to report here. I am just still drafting one of four summer reading reports. I ain’t doing anything until they are done writing wise.
He is My Master Manga Review
Jul 8th
He is My Master (also known as HiMM) is a ecchi gag manga by a husband and wife team made up of Mattsu and Asu Tsubaki. (They broke up not too long ago, though, and the manga is kinda at a standstill with only five volumes right now). It’s about a “boy in the midst of puberty who inherited his parents’ fortune and was living all by himself with no supervision and has surrounded himself with tender young girls in a huge mansion, thus living out his fantasies and creating his own world of desire as he makes them serve him” (the manga makes this very clear as it uses this description often) named Yoshitaka Nakabayashi. Oh, and he is also an ”inhumane pervert with a Lolicon fetish”.
This manga is mindless perverted fun. Everyone is at least a little evil. There’s a lesbian in the mix. A little girl who is evil and controls people. An alligator god with glasses. Heck, everything you wanted in a manga that you didn’t even know that you wanted is in here. Sadly, the gags sometimes get repetitive especially all the contests (compare to Ranma 1/2), but there is often just enough new material and more than enough comedy to make you keep reading.
One unique thing about this manga is that the authors not only break the fourth wall, but use a wreckingball to do so. They constantly make comments about what they thing about the manga and joke via a character’s voice or a dialog box. It adds much more feeling and passion to the manga.
There is a large group of people that really dislike this manga though. I would try it and see if you like it, and if you don’t then oh well, but if you are into the perverted funny fetish gag evil thing then you better get reading.
