so i quit my book buying ban again...

-

 I think this time it lasted more like three weeks, but, yeah, I've (again) decided that the Book Wall is never going to shrink and will just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger until the day that I die, and I (again) decided to celebrate this fact by buying several lots of novels and manga off of eBay. This was also exacerbated by the fact that I read a volume of Bleach and was reminded that I like Bleach and so I had to buy some and then I bought more things and now--

I don't know why I keep trying to shrink the book wall? I mean, I don't really mind that I have hundreds of unread books. I don't. I love having such a degree of randomness to what I'm going to read next! I love being able to look at what could be a literal five years of reading, and that's five good years of reading. That doesn't take into account me buying more books, because we all know I will.

The thing is, I just hate not being able to buy forty books whenever I want. So I guess I'm giving up again? I mean, I'm doing pretty good when it comes to how many books I've read so far this year! Woo! We're doing great! I'm at, what, I think 56 books read so far this year? That's pretty fuckin' killer, man, we're not going to talk about how I've definitely bought like, twice that.

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.
