Tinder in Rural North Dakota

-
tl;dr: sucks

So like, I'm pretty new to Tinder, but I  have my stories to share in comparison to one of my friends, who lives in a major US city that is not North Dakota, let alone rural North Dakota. She's talking about how she's hooked up with a few people and it's been cool and I'm sitting here like "all of my matches are at least forty miles away, except for that one kid who I think is the kid I complimented on his Vegas Golden Knights shirt the other day???"

But I am pretty new. It's only been a few days. And it's been cool talking to people, even if they live sixty or a hundred miles away; if nothing else this shit'll make me feel less awkward about talking to dudes online? I guess?

I mean, I'm not gonna delete my account. This is my second go-around, and the first time I deleted my account as soon as I got a match because I was like "nope," but now I've not only matched but had a couple of brief conversations and have not deleted my account yet, so, we're doing good.

It's weird, though. I dunno. Part of it feels like giving up, a little, and I really don't think anything will ever come of it but, whatever, it's something to do.

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.
