The End

I'm signing off.

The blog's been fun. We've had fun. Writing these pieces, editing them, publishing them, it's all been fun. But things come to and end and my focus has moved on.

I don't find I have any fun creating or editing posts, and all the fun in writing has been sucked out for me due to time constraints and other stuff. The other people have also found better things to do. Shehan might be found at his own blog one day, and everyone else is no longer interested in the blogging platform, as am I.

So I think it's time to draw an end to all this, a solid ending. There'll be no more updates here. I hope.

Good bye everyone, thanks for being here, and caring.

Blog Update November 2016

Hey guys,

It's November, and Christmas and every holiday soon! Woohoo!
I'm back again this time to give you some updates on the blog.
Firstly, expect us to come back full swing the coming days.
"Why?" you ask I hear. It's because we've got our crew back! Our Games Editor Dinera, is back as you may have seen, and so is Rayhaan. They join the team alongside me and our trusty editor Shehan! Our new guys on the block is going to be Yasaru and Alfy. You'll hopefully see Yasaru soon with some post or some thing completely new, and Alfy will be joining us with some more gaming reviews!
We're planning on bringing back FlipSide and Gaming Reviews, as well as opening up some new sections not seen before. What are they? Even we haven't decided yet!
So to be first on the block as soon as we publish a post, don't forget to drop your email in the gadget up there ^^^.
We also have a new Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/interestconcentrated, so please be sure to give us a follow to be following us on the go!
That's all for now guys!

Blog Update July 2016

It's been long time.



Times have been busy, I've been busy, and as the audience for the blog broke down over the last few posts (last year, October), I didn't have much motivation to carry on. Doing the publicising of a post takes a long time, and having to send it across multiple platforms is just too much for too little.
My friends who are the writers have been busy, so they haven't brought up anything new either. I have two posts of Poetry Concentrated in Draft Form, completed and ready to post. but I just don't have the time to PR them.

So, right here, right now, I'm calling the end to all the previous series that were on this blog. A fresh start if you may. Until I have time to do the PR of the posts, they won't be coming up here.

However, I am back here for a reason.
A friend of mine recently contacted me asking if he could write gaming reviews for the blog. I said sure why not, give it a try. Which he did. Which is why I am here.

So I'm holding the gate to an abandoned house for him to enter and start living in again. Hopefully he'll continue to write more than just one article, and hopefully he'll do a better job at staying focused on the job than I did.

If you're reading this, I'd like to offer you thanks for still sticking by us, for that one view, and for bothering to click this link at all. Thank you.

Enjoy.

I can't tell you how happy I am guys (and gals. :-) Just consider yourselves thought of when I say guys. When I say that I mean everyone who reads my blog.)!

The Team 35

The Team 35 is an amazing story a friend and I wrote for fun, which soon escalated to popularity within our classes. I personally think it was one of the best stories I've ever written, and while this may not count for much, you can soon read it for yourself! The idea is pretty original, and something I'VE never seen before. Yeah sure its a good guy superhero vs bad guy superhero, but the powers they have a very different from the ones present superheroes have.
To go to our official post just click these words: The Team 35 is awesome!
[I guess I was taking a cruel advantage there. :-)]

What's next? Blog Update July

What’s next?
August is nearly here, and that means a lot to Interest Concentrated. As you probably know if you’ve been reading all the articles, I’ve stalled updating all the stories and haven’t put up any articles of interest until August begins, and all of us are truly in the holiday season.
So, now I want to talk about what you should look forward for in the coming month. There’s a lot of new stuff coming your way, as well as some restored stuff and continuations. Here’s a guide of what you should be excited about:

 8:49: I’ve temporarily stopped updating this story, and it’ll open again with the latest installment on the first Tuesday of August, which is the 4th! "The Mystery Continues"

‘The Flipside’ series: A much loved series by fellow author Rayhaan. He’ll be continuing the series with The Flipside 3 (it might have a different name. It’s not for me to say), and as with all of the Flipside stories, they’re full of irony and suspense! And although I can’t exactly pinpoint a date of publishing, they’ll be coming!

The Team 35: This is probably the biggest launch. You really need to read it when makes its appearance! I’ve been putting quite a few hours into this. It'll be relaesed on the 6th of August!

Tech Section: I’ve been working on completing an article on which I have my say on Apple and I’m also planning on writing some stuff on tech in the future, being one of my favourite subjects to talk about anyway.

Poems: This is something I’ve been thinking about publishing for a while now, and I thought that I might make it a weekly feature, with an article releasing each week with either a poem that was submitted by one of you (or me) or some random poem by a random poet.

Finally, Your articles! I can’t leave this out! Who knows what articles might arise from submission? Sure, no-one other than Rayhaan has approached me on writing articles, but that’s why I wrote it here. Do send me in some articles! Surely you have some pieces of writing saved on your computer that no-one has seen before? You must something you’ve written at school for some project? My first blog on this ‘Crash’ was written at school, and it turned out so nice that I decided that should open a blog for all these miscellaneous writing that everyone does and that eventually goes to waste. You know you have it! Take the time to transcribe onto the computer if you didn’t write it on the computer, and send it in to me! Who knows, people might think it’s amazing. And even if they don’t, well, that’ll give you basis to build your writing on in the future!

So, that’s it for today. I discovered a new found love for writing like this, and it’s quite fun too. Though I wish typing didn’t have quite that friction to it that writing on paper has. Meh.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the holidays and I hope this blog makes them even better! Always remember to check on this blog once a week!!
