Ruts

-
Lately I've been feeling in a rut. Like I'm just stuck here, in the middle of nowhere North Dakota, with nothing real going on. And doing nothing real. Which is definitely bullshit, I mean, even they're not exciting, the things happening are real, Aurora, and I'm sure it's just a going-into-senior-year-of-college thing.

I hate living with my parents.

I love my parents. And when I haven't seen them for a while, living with them seems like the best. But I hate being almost twenty-one years old and living with my parents. The reason I am is because I've got one year left of college and I don't want to waste money on an apartment or anything, but my plan, to save the most money possible, is to live with them for an entire year after I graduate, and to be honest, I don't think I can do it.

Maybe my feelings will change, and I know that sometimes I get into weird let's-hold-onto-childhood states of mind, but at the moment, this is literally the worst thing, because I feel like I'm being treated like a child when I'm legally an adult. And it's frustrating, because, logically, I will be living with them until May 2020. To save the most money.

To move to Maine (or anywhere else in the continental US).

Maine better be worth it.

obligatory new year blog post

So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly. While this isn't like anything very many people read (I average ~20 views a post, hollaaaaaaaa), I do like it, and I think it's a way for people do kind of understand my voice if they're curious on whether I can actually write or not. I mean, this is different from my fiction, but, well, I mention I write in my videos, now you can decide whether I'm kidding myself or not. Speaking of writing, this year's projects were... a novella for class, a first draft, a first draft that I abandoned (i'm sorry i still really like this idea maybe some other time), a decision that I Need To Rewrite The Pet Project Again, a first draft, a revision of what I'm currently calling my best work but I'm looking at another round of revision this coming year, a first draft, a rewrite that taught me yeah I can't do fantasy, and a NaNoWriMo that cons...

the writing year so far

 I mean, it's been going well. I've put out two books so far, and the only reason Class B isn't out is because I just haven't gotten around to uploading the final draft to Amazon and everything. It's done. I'm about 14k into the next Aughts Boys book, which I am a little lukewarm about (it's Kevin, and he's like, kind of meh, for me, honestly), and about 10k into the last Serial Killers with Cookies book. Next month I start a rewrite of a Tinon novella, and the month after I start a rewrite of another standalone. It's going well. I think I'll publish all the books I meant to publish this year--the only one I'm iffy on is Kaz at the Approach . Everything else should be finished with plenty of time to spare, which is not like, generally my experience. Usually I have crossover between years.  It's been a good year so far.
