A fascinating premise leads into a promising story. Scarlet is a thrilling, post-apocalyptic adventure that you can't afford to miss! I'm looking forward to seeing more from this author.

        Good morning, rebels!

        As the 6th day of the contest opens, I’m feeling pretty good about the plan I have set out for Scarlet. While it may not reach the leaderboards by the end of this week, there are several other chances I can capitalize on. However, the point of this update isn’t about the leaderboards--it’s about the Forgotten Stories. I will be uploading Noctis’ story around late evening--I’m hoping, and it covers his life just before everything fell apart. Whether the chapter will be short or long will depend upon the length I’m willing to expose. There will only be two characters in the chapter--Noctis, and his older sister, Celestina. Over the many drafts and completed chapters I’ve done concerning this book, I’ve always tried making Noctis the dare-devil/heroic guy of the group. Always leaping into danger, pulling off stunts only he could do, and being there to assist Scarlet in her time of need as her most trusted ally. In the chapter, you’ll see a side of Noctis you wouldn’t see in the main storyline. Thanks for reading, and remember...stay rebellious!

        From yours truly. A.J.III.

          Hey, rebels!

          This update was just something that came out of the blue while I was scoping out the other projects/authors in the contest, and I must say, there are a bunch of creative minds out there! Still, this is a contest. In order for Scarlet to get on the leaderboards and maintain that position, there would have to be orders coming in everyday almost--from my understanding. I believe if we reached the leaderboards, it could change the momentum and make people gravitate to Scarlet. That’s why I’ve been advertising, attending meetings, and even emailing old teachers of mine who enjoyed my talent. It’s a tiring process for sure, but how you dedicate yourself from the start until the end matters. 

          "Work harder than those above you, and you’ll achieve greatness."

          My coach told me that, and I took it as a life lesson. It applies to everything! Hahaha, but I will calm down with the inspirational vibes I’m giving off and just say thank you to those who ordered today. I personally thanked them when I had the chance, and their responses is probably why I feel so inspired tonight haha. Once again, thanks to them, but also to those who’s been following and watching over my progress. No matter how long in the contest it takes, let’s reach Top 3! Goodnight, and remember...stay rebellious--let your dreams go wild!

          From yours truly, A.J.III.

          Anthony Jones III recommended Storm of Fury
          From just the first couple of paragraphs, I was drawn in by the tense atmosphere surrounding the protagonist, but it wasn't just that--The world, the lore, the description of the storm and enemies was so creative! This fantasy is most definitely epic!
          Storm of Fury
          For untold ages, Na’lek, creator of mankind, has tolerated the sins of his people. But no more. Soon, his Fury will pour over Lantrelia, wiping humanity from the face of existence. If brave heroes do not rise to challenge him, all hope is lost.

            Hello, rebels!

            This update is about two hours or so late, but it’s all fine because I’m here to deliver and you are here to witness it. Now, I made a late update around midnight to say that I uploaded Chapter One: Green Ocean, but I also mentioned the event I attended yesterday, and I must say...it went really well. To explain the event better--it was a show-and-tell type of of event where kids to young adults got on stage and present their talent/performance. It was held in a local park in my city where people usually hold events at. The crowd nearly overwhelmed me haha! I have experience with speaking in front of a good sized crowd because I’ve done speeches and my senior project featured me speaking on camera about the news circulating around my alma mater (I’m feeling old now, but it’s only been a few months! xD). So, I spoke on stage and explained my story about why I write, my books, and encouraging yourself to pursue what you love. Afterwards, I walked around and handed out cards to adults and those around my age while explaining how to contact me, the requirements for getting my book published, and what college I would be enrolling into. I had a great time and it made me much more confident in my abilities as a young individual. I may not have been taught by amazing professors, or taken courses to hone my writing, but I want to take advantage early to build experience. One of the things that matter to me is your passion to continue despite being overlooked. However, I’m sure people understand that already haha!

            As the 5th day of the contest opens up, I realize that there’s a long road to the end. I want to pace myself with these other chapters, for I don’t want to expose everything in my arsenal in just one week. I will not be releasing another chapter of the main storyline until the week is up and until I at least get over 10 orders. Notice how I said "main storyline", yeah? Well, strangely enough, I was thinking about different tactics I could use to keep people invested even if chapters aren’t coming in, and I thought about doing something I call the Forgotten Stories.  These "stories" are simply telling the background of characters in the book--such as Noctis, Eldo, Aria, Balthier, or characters in the near future. Each member will have their own separate story that takes place before the world changed around them, and I may even consider showing how they lived during the apocalypse years before Tempest started. The actual events won’t be so vivid in the actual story, but merely explained and such instead of having a dedicated chapter to it, so think of this as extra chapters to the story for those who take interest in the characters. I’m currently working on Noctis, so I’d say expect it tomorrow.

            Well, thank you for reading today, and remember...stay rebellious! (Our motto xD) Reach out for what you want no matter the challenges.

            From yours truly, A.J.III.
