    I'm writing a book apparently....... I don't know when my brain decided this was a thing, but it is now.
     
    So here's the beginning of it! Let me know what you think
     
    P.S. - When this book is a thing, the cover is going to be flipped. The front is the back and the back is the front.. and upside down. So the back cover upside down is the beginning of the book XD

    Confusing Humans



    By Tech Reel


     
     
     

    The title.


     
     
     

    You: “What?”


     
     
     

    The title of this book.


     
     
     

    You: “Yes.. what about it?”


     
     
     

    What does it mean?


     

    Yes, it’s a bit early to get shatter the fourth wall, mentioning the title and all. But look at it, what does it mean? “Confusing Humans”, some of you are gonna think it means that this book is about how confusing Humans are. Others will think it’s about how to confuse Humans. So which one is it? “Humans are confusing” or “Let’s confuse some Humans”? Yes. Well, no. Well both, and more. As a (sort of) human myself, I’ve learned that Humans are.. weird to say the least. What other species will do things like make suspenders, cupcake vending machines, Furbies…. seriously.. what the hell is up with Furbies, guys? Just.. just don’t, please.
     
    Here’s another question. Can something be random and philosophical at the same time? Weird yet logical? Silly yet serious? Well I hope so because that’s what I am. Don’t believe it’s possible? Oh you silly little platypus, let me explain. This very book is actually quite a good example of this concept. You may have noticed that the cover is a bit.. strangely oriented. Not only is it upside down but reversed as well. Silly, isn’t it? But think of it this way. The cover being upside down represents that you’ll have to flip the way you normally think as you go through this book. It’s backwards because as you finish the book you’ll reach the front cover, a new beginning with new knowledge. As one thing ends another begins.
     


    (It’s also because imagining how dumb people will look while reading this makes me laugh)


     

    And the idea of this sold at stores intrigues. Will they display the back cover because that’s where the book starts or the front cover because.. it’s the front cover? Social experiments, I live to test humans with the stupidest of ideas. As you can already tell my brain is one weird specimen. Flipping between silly and serious, which is where I’ve applied my name of MethODDical on YouTube. The perfect description. Strange yet structured.
     


    Alright, enough background information and exposition! Who’s ready to test Human nature?!


     
     
     

    You: “OOH! MEEEEEE!! I AM, CHOOSE ME!”


     
     
     

    SSSHHH, QUIET! You’re in a library, or class, or public, or the vacuum of space.


     
     
     

    One more thing, forgot to mention it. Since I wanted this all to start with questions there was no big text saying this is a prologue, so here it is at the bottom. Better late than never!


     
     
     

    PROLOGUE

    "Speak In Silence"

    By Tech Reel,

    Feeling kinda off, so I decided to write a poem thing. In my mind this is like some strange little Doctor Who thing, like a legend that is spread about the Doctor(And, in this case, me).

    Feelings from companions old

    I Can't See It Anymore

    By Tech Reel,

    I've been feeling like I need someone again. Someone to make videos with, a new friend. Alone I've just felt fairly unmotivated. Which is why this Doctor Who quote came to mind.
     
    I've altered it a bit to fit my own situation. The original is here in this spoiler.
     
     
     
     
    And here's the modified version.
    ---
    Companion: "Then why am I here?"
     
    Me: "Because....because I can't see it anymore."
     
    Companion. "See what?"
     
    Me: "I've been at this on and off for 10 years. After a while you just can't see it."
     
    Companion: "See what?!"
     
    Me: "Everything. I look at a video and it's just a big sketch, vlog, or film and I know how to start I know how to end it..and I've done both so many times. Now after a while everything is just stuff. That's the problem, you make all of YouTube your backyard and what do you have? A backyard. But you, you can see it. And when you see it I see it."
     
    Companion: "And that's the only reason you took me with you?"
     
    Me: "..There are worse reasons..."

    Maybe soon I'll start looking for a channel partner again. Maybe.

    Tech Vents: YouTube

    By Tech Reel,

    Ya know what, Brain? One of these days you'll work. One of these days, maybe just for one day, one hour..a minute. Heck, I'd be lucky if it worked for a second.
     
    I will gain the ability to think. The question is, what would I think about? The answer? YouTube. Sounds like a strange thing to think about, I know, but I have my reasons.
     
    It's been about 10 years since I first discovered my interest in making videos. I'd make home movies and other little comedy bits and such. Over time I found YouTube, and I realized that I could post my stuff online for people to see. My destiny was set. I wanted nothing more than to be a YouTuber. 10 years, 6 collaborating friends, and 8(or more) channels have passed. I've made very little progress. Each channel only doing slightly better than the last, but always lacking consistent views, subscribers, and worst of all, content. I always run into the problem of not having ideas or inspiration for videos. Eventually it evolved into a lack of motivation after my many failed channels.
     
    So why do I keep going? Good question....too bad I don't have a good answer. The only thing that keeps me going these days is this feeling in my mind that I do still want to be a YouTuber. I still don't know exactly what content I love making, and I still have problems with inspiration and motivation, but I just know in my heart that YouTube is something I want to do. But why? How!?
     
    I don't know. Maybe my brain actually will work for a few minutes some time. And you can bet I'll use every second to try and figure this out, because I'm stumped.

    I've been having a lot of trouble with things lately. Namely the two things mentioned in the title, inspiration and drive. When it comes to YouTube, these can tend to appear and disappear at different times.
     
    Some days I'll be super ready to run and make a video while other days I just can't bring myself to do so.
     
    I believe my main problem is I have yet to find a specific genre or style of videos that I really love to make. Though that doesn't mean I don't like making videos normally. While it takes some time to work up the energy to make a video some days, I do end up having some fun when I eventually do. And I know I love to entertain people, I just don't have the motivation most of the time, because I never know what my next video will be. I have no specific ideas in mind that seem to appeal to me, I need to find the right type of video for me.
     
    Until then, I'll just need to work through it. Hopefully I'll find it soon.

    How Am I Doing So Far?

    By Tech Reel,

    Heyo!
     
    I'd like to get a few opinions on how I'm doing with a little fan fiction I've been writing. It's sort of a Doctor Whooves crossover, mainly focusing on my character, Tech Reel, as well as his friends, Lyra and Octavia.
     
    Here's the synopsis
    ---
    One day, Tech Reel stumbles upon a journal that details the life of a man named the Doctor, an alien from another universe. He shares it with his friends, Lyra and Octavia, and the three take immediate interest in the stories within. Though things change when they find that the Doctor may be in their world.
     
    The search is on, with many questions to be asked. Is the Doctor actually real or just a story? How did this book get lost in the first place? Is the Doctor in danger? And who can save him?
    ​---
     
    You can read the story(Well, what I have so far) over here on FimFiction
    http://www.fimfiction.net/story/273873/search-for-the-doctor
    ​
    I'd be really grateful if you could read some(or all) of it and tell me what you think. How's the story, grammar, wording, and such?
     
    Thanks in advance for your time
