In the future after it is copyrighted...because you will try and steal it.

but we will revisit this convo. I promise.

[uh-oh]

hey vulgar here is the opening scene from the viewpoint of my character BILL

""I'll kill you and smash your fucking head!" Bill grunted through clenched teeth. He was infuriated. This little worm just tried to steal his hard earned gold, and was now paying the price.

"My.. mother.. sir... sick.. dying..." The boy barely gasped out as he fought for breath. He couldnt be more then ten summers old, but a thief was a thief, and Bill hated them.

"I'll fuck your mothers corpse you piece of horse shit!" Bill shouted, drawing curious glances from passerbys as he strangled and jerked the boy this way and that. The boy kicked and struggled for another ten seconds or so and turned into dead weight. Bill dropped him, picked up a loose paving stone, and bringing it in a high arch slammed it down, crushing the poor boys head, pushing his brain out onto the street. Bill then ripped the boys dirty shirt off, used it to wipe the blood from his face and walked on.

$$$$

[dead man]

lmao i got 5 on it @uh oh.

split probably has given you the best advice you'll get on netcees.

there's always a way. you're a young white capable male in america. figure it out.

[Vulgar]

Thanks.

[uh-oh]

Bill yelled "AGHHHH!" and released his seed in the whore's face. Bill found many years ago, the greatest stress reliever was punishing whores with the warrior meat. As the whore lay back gasping, wiping the fluids from her eyes she said "You pleasured me greatly sir."

Bill replied "I don't give a fuck." and walked out of the room.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT IN ON THIS VULGAR?

[~RustyGunZ~]

Is this a fantasy lore novel uh oh?

It reminds me of Quentin Tarantino action/Conan the Barbarian. There's a big market for that, especially in the comics industry. I'd recommend you check out Conceptart.org. There are countless up and coming artists on there with sketchbooks. Some of them are right up your alley. If you search them out, let them know that you want them to illustrate a storyboard for free - there's actually a non-paid commission section in the 'Employment' section.

At the very least, you can find an artist to design you a comic strip, crediting yourself as the writer. I've never done it, but always wanted to. I had one planned with an artist from Germany, but it fell through because he was busy with university. The theme was dwarves/fantasy and the like.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll help out. Personally, I don't have the time or the desire to work on someone else's private project without financial incentive. Tbc.

If this were the route you were going to take, you should:
a) plan on getting all A's. I'd advise becoming a full-time student, get on-campus housing and charge it all to the student loan game. Trust me, work + university equals shitty grades and an extended stay. You get more out of your education by letting it demand all of your time. You accept that you will hemorrhage debt, with the promise that you are going to be successful enough to pay it off and you are starting right the fuck now.

b) you'll get placed into some introductory level classes. basic. boring. doesn't matter, you're there to get A's, and you're going to do it. find other people that are like-minded, spend all of your free time (on campus) working together, in a study group. You might hate these people. They might be pretentious cocks, whatever- they'll introduce you to people you CAN stand for more than thirty minutes. This is your clique and this is going to be how you graduate summa cum laude

c) spend time at your major's study spot of choice... engineering, it's the computer lab. Eventually, youll be introduced to seniors, who will casually ask you which classes you're taking. They'll laugh, say X Professor sucks, I remember all those horrible fucking pop quizzes etc. etc.- they'll also give you old tests to study, or at the very least old assignments. All you have to do is not be a fuckboy, and they'll take you under your wing

d) the MOST IMPORTANT THING is to shoot for a 4.0, nothing less. You and I both know what it feels like to pass in a piece of homework that will not get a grade of more than 60%... you can't do that. Tests alone are a difficult beast, you need every point possible so that when you get an 85% on the midterm you still have an A. Homework & participation are free points, and if you treat them as such you'll have above a 3.0 GPA.

e) What happens when your GPA dips? You take summer classes, that's what. Only one or two, you'll pay out the ass for them- but professors often treat these like Continuing Ed night classes... it's not enough time for a full semester of learning, so if you're there every day, arguing over 5 points on exams, asking questions, and generally showing that you care, you WILL pass

f) When your GPA isn't high enough to transfer in: you take continuing education courses that have no minimum GPA for you to get in. You're paying for A's, so get A's or else.

I essentially dropped out of Case Western, took two in-person + two online classes at $5K, and then transferred into ULowell on a full scholarship because those 4 A's were a Cialis shot to my GPA's vas deferens


Once you're accepted to a Name University (either a state school or a halfway decent private university... IE, someone from out of state/ two states away would recognize your school by name) and have a GPA above a 3.0, you can transfer into another University that you actually care about

BY THE WAY: when you transfer schools, your official GPA resets, you can choose not to report old schools' GPAs where you pulled D's or whatever. So don't be discouraged.

Everything I was gonna say with more details and better explanations. Listen to the Dog.

But if you find yourself in a situation where traditional schooling isn't working for you. Or if it takes longer than you were planning on to get admission, investigate your online education options. Depending on your field of study, you may be able to learn everything you need for your career without going through the expense of formal education.

Places like Coursera.com offer college level instruction (up through graduate lvl courses) at zero cost, w/ minimal cost for certified classes. Most schools also have online degree programs, and many of those have slightly less strict admissions criteria than attending the school as a regular student.

If you end up going the self study route, especially if its something that's a non-degree program, you may have to work harder to prove to employers that you know your stuff. You might have to take a pay cut on an entry level position to establish your credibility. But you're basically betting on yourself that you can learn enough to make yourself an asset to the company and grow your skillset from there.
