the endless cycle of aughts boys first drafts

-

 So, I keep all of my current writing projects on this little black flash drive. Sometimes, as I am human, I forget this flash drive somewhere and then I can't work on stuff. Normally, this means I forget this flash drive at home and so I'm at school, where I have a bunch of other flash drives, and then what do I do?

I start a new Aughts Boys book. 

This year, I have written books 12-14 on first draft. I am currently working on 15. That's Benji Holmes, Jack Williams, Brodie Mohren, and Jackson Falvey, for those of us who have read the books, of which I know there are few. The problem comes when I already have a first draft running and I forget my flash drive, because then what happens?

I start a new one and immediately lose interest in the last one. 

But I'm having fun. This Aughts Boys series is like, looking to never end or something, because I keep creating side characters that I want to have their own books, but that's fine? You don't have to read it in order, honestly. I'm having a fun time. It's all a great time. 

We're having a great time.

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.
