the stand remake

-
So I'm re-reading The Stand right now, and as I'm reading the chapter where Nick meets Tom, I get to thinking--hey, aren't they remaking the movie? Wouldn't Timothee Chalamet be like, a really good Nick?

So I got to thinking about other possibilities, because the only thing we know about this movie is  'it might be happening', so here, have my Stand remake fancast.

Timothee Chalamet: Nick Andros
This is a really far cry from Rob Lowe's Nick, but Chalamet is like, real close to the book description of Nick, and he seems... really hot right now. Like boy's in everything. I have seen none of his movies but I trust this little French-American boy. 

Ross Lynch: Lloyd Henreid
RIP Miguel Ferrer, you might not have really been what the book described Lloyd as, but your "what the fuck have I gotten myself into" expressions really, really made your performance in the original miniseries the best thing in the world. But Ross Lynch is pretty exact to Lloyd in the book--and also, since he did such a good Dahmer, we know he can do villainous, we know he can do things outside of his Disney Channel start. 

I don't care they're just going to have to get Gary Sinise for Stu again, because Gary Sinise just is Stu Redman, and I can't think of anyone else who could play him. 

Matthew McConaughey: Randall Flagg
Was The Dark Tower movie bad? Yes. Was that the fault of the actors? No. Would it be really funny to just put McConaughey in as Flagg again? Also yes.

Ezra Miller: Larry Underwood... or Harold Lauder?
Miller's like, a little too old for Harold Lauder (and too good-looking) but he would do a really, really good Lauder. Or he'd be a good Larry Underwood. He could do either, to be honest. Or both. Both is good.

Lily Rabe: Nadine Cross
I don't like Nadine. Lily Rabe could make me like Nadine.

And I think that's all I've got. I know, I know--missing Fran, and Mother Abigail, and like, a whole bunch of other people, but that's what I stole off of my Twitter that I'd already thought up last night, so feel free to add, man.

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.
