one more sad song playlist

-

 In One More Sad Song, music is a big part of it. Of course it is. Music is always a big part of like, everything I write, because getting way too into music is something that I have done. But music, more specifically pop-punk, is important. Here's a link to this playlist on Spotify, but here it is all written out if you're not a big Spotify person--playlist for Zeke, the main character. 

boys of summer  - the ataris

don't let it be love - bowling for soup

addicted - simple plan

inside out - yellowcard

what am i to say - sum41

scar tissue - red hot chili peppers

loser  - beck

make up your mind  - mxpx

after midnight - blink182

hello hello  - sr71

up and up  - reliant k

hey jealousy  - gin blossoms

i feel so  - box car racer

ohio is for lovers  - hawthorne heights

anywhere but here  - mayday parade

the anthem  - good charlotte

the reckless and the brave  - all time low

the bitter pill - warrant

calling all cars - senses fail

concert for aliens - machine gun kelly

With a mix of songs that Zeke would have listened to--obviously, not all of them, i.e. impossible on the 'concert for aliens' front, unlikely on the 'The Bitter Pill' front--but this is what I listen to when writing Zeke. So much pop-punk. The book in general is just a love letter to my pop-punk sensibilities (which, by the way--how happy was I when MGK went pop-punk????? So happy, now I can like his music alongside his face and acting!) but the playlist does really exemplify that, yeah.

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.
