cover reveal + coming soon: one more sad song

 AUGUST 24, 2004

            His brother is at college, the weatherman’s predicting good weather well into next week, and Zeke’s had the new Taking Back Sunday album pounding out of his Discman for the past month—almost perfect, almost so perfect that he almost doesn’t care school’s starting up again on Monday. He’s got his music, he’s got a good forecast for his board, and he’s got pretty much the sole attention (at least, the attention that’s not being taken up by Keanu Reeves movies and conspiracy theories) of his best friend and unknowing love of his life, Kevin.

            At least, until he doesn’t. Whether it’s the fact that Kevin grew three inches over the summer or his FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE t-shirt, Kevin’s landed the girl of his dreams, who just so happens to be a colossal bitch. And just like that, Zeke’s goes from spending ninety-nine percent of his time with Kevin to spending twenty-five percent of his time with Kevin—and no matter how much Ashton, the cute hockey forward, keeps bugging him, Kevin is Zeke’s only friend. So Zeke decides to do something about it. He decides to break Kevin and his girlfriend up. Then everything’s got to go back to normal, right?

So, Zeke Williams is just about the stupidest main character that I've ever written. I love him so goddam much, and he is also, I think, one of the best main characters I've ever written. I'm excited for this book. I'm excited for you guys to read this book. It's coming out soon--within the next few months. I don't have an exact release date, but like: soon. 

Aaand so I'd like to reveal the cover! This was done by Paris St Mercury at mobtropolis on Instagram, and I think he did a damn good job.

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

TOP 19 OF 2023

-
 Another year is done, and that means it's time for my TOP 19 of 2023. This is, top ten books, top seven movies, top artist a la Spotify, and top game that I finished . No re-reads allowed, and also no re-watches, and I haven't played enough games for that to be an issue.  So, first up, easiest thing out of the way: according to Spotify, what was my top artist?  It was Marianas Trench. I listened to Ever After and Fix Me a whole lot this year. Over and over and over again. It has Aughts Boys reasons, I guess.  Top game? I actually finished four games this year. My favorite was definitely Pesterquest , mostly because when I got to the Dirk one at the end Unite: Synchronization started playing and I started crying, like, a little, and also I didn't let myself look up how to get good ends for any of them except for Dirk, because sue me, I'm a Dirk girl, and I just thought, you know, to myself, as it goes, like, WWDSD? And the answer was definitely look up how to win at tha
