 So, I'm pretty pumped for NaNoWriMo this year. 

A big part of this, I'm pretty sure, is that I haven't let myself write any first drafts this year. I haven't written a first draft since last year's NaNo, which is, honestly, amazing for me. I think last year I wrote something like fourteen first drafts, which is legitimately insane, but this year? I've sometimes doodled out a paragraph or so, but I haven't written a full one. 

So, when it comes to what I'm doing, I'm not sure. I have three options, and I'm pretty sure that I'm just going to randomly select one using random.org or something. Those three options?

  1. Another Aughts Boys book! Might do a Jack book, might do a Kyle book, might do a Brittney book, might do a Kevin book. If that's the one randomly chosen I will also probably have to randomly choose which one I want to do. 
  2. A true crime-y book focused on a semi-modernization of the story of Carl Panzram, focusing mostly on when he was burning down churches in North Dakota as a teenager. Probalby it will take place around the 70s or 80s? 
  3. A thriller about some kids who catfish the wrong person on ChristianMingle. 
And you know--I'm kinda hoping I get three, because I've been thinking up some really fun kills. But I don't know! I'm very excited, because everything writing-wise this year has been very much revision and rewriting and formatting for publication, so it'll be very fun to get something new out there. Less than a month to go!

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.
