Book Read! Final Draft by Riley Redgate

I thought this was fun in the way that I do really enjoy books about writing. And this was definitely about writing. Had some moments I didn't expect; overall, not bad.

Book Read! Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

Man this one took me a while. it was very well-done, but I know nothing about Tudor England, which definitely did hamper my enjoyment. Very fun. Very great. I lost momentum two hundred pages in and then it was a bit of a slog. But this did make me excited to read her French Revolution book, because I do know about the French Revolution.

Book Read! Letting Ana Go by Anonymous

Oh man. Follows the script. Feel like this one might actually be used by teens with eating disorders to like. Uh. Get "better" at their eating disorders. Probably kinda harmful.

Book Read! I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga

This was very fun, very fast-paced, and bloodier than I thought it would be. Fun times! This is my first Lyga.

Book Read! Write Like This by Kelly Gallagher

This was a PD book; however, I did put it on the Book Wall so it counts.

 Book Received. My Dress-Up Darling 3 by Shinichi Fukuda

I have not read the first two volumes in this series. This was given to me by someone who accidentally got two copies of this volume.

Book Read. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This was fun to re-read. I definitely did enjoy it. I haven't read it since high school, so it was interesting to see how I felt about it as an adult.

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.
