book month coming to an end...

-

 After March 31st, the next time I get to buy books is in June. While this is good news for the state of the book wall and also my wallet, it's going to be a struggle. I remember the end of February, when I KNEW I could buy books in March, when I KNEW it was only a couple days away...

That shit's going to be even WORSE end of May, I can tell. And like, hopefully I actually stick to it. I've done so many book buying bans over the years and honest, my man, shrinking the book wall is like losing weight. I realize the answer is just "stop buying books" like I realize the answer is "stop eating so much candy", but when it comes to actually doing it...

But! Hopefully April and May can be big reading months. April I do write a new first draft--my spreadsheet tells me it's "whatever aughts boys book comes next", which means it could be either: 

  • Asking for It -- the Brittney book
  • Sick Sick Sick -- Alan Crockett (he was a kid Matt met in Until I fall Away... cousin to the Fortiers)
  • cant do it alone - Kyle Corzett
  • Take Me to the Top - Maxine Schow (this is a time warp one! this is luke's mom!)
  • Underclass Hero -- Leon Corzett
  • Carry Me Ohio -- Cricket Williams
  • Invisible Kid -- Oliver West (CRIMINAL we don't have an oliver book before this but what can you do except the fact that i am the author and was in control of this)
  • The After Life of the Party - Xander Brown
  • King for a Day - Hayden Fortier
  • The Day that Never Comes - "Dave Matt's Brother"
  • Just Did a Bad Thing - "Bailey Matt's Sister" 

Personally, I'm hoping for... man, maybe the Oliver book? The Maxine book could be interesting. I'll just randomize it.

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.
