Aurora Dimitre's Books and Rambling

 

 One thing about me, I do love a list. I love organizing. I love excel spreadsheets. I love a to-do list. I love a Plan. that is meant to be capitalized.  I also love making a new Plan. I love a new spreadsheet and a new to-do list and a new way to read the book wall to death. Side note, I have been on this book buying bet ban for like, almost a year now and that shit's insane. I've also been re-reading The Stand for several days now. Over a week, I'm pretty sure. I love The Stand . It's just like, jacking up my reading pace. Like, I'm lucky that I was like fifteen books ahead on my reading goal or a bitch would be behind now.  I'm also slogging my way through Tinon #3. I'm 20k in on the rewrite and I wanted to be ready to edit by March. I have one month, and one short month, to rewrite the rest of this fucking book, and all I want to do is write something else that won't take me seven years. Maybe that's what this rush to break free from all of thes...

 

 

 

 

 I'm working on the twelfth (!!) Aughts Boys book right now ( first four are published, if you're interested ), and this bitch has no plot. To be fair, I've been having a lot of fun. The beauty of the Aughts Boys books is that they are a series of interconnected standalones. They skip around so much in time that I really should scrawl out a giant timeline so I don't have to keep skipping back into my drafts of the ones that are published to make sure I don't contradict stuff. One thing that I do really, really enjoy, though, is taking these characters that were in books one through eleven and aging them down and trying to figure out how they got to be the people they are in "earlier" books.  Book twelve of the Aughts Boys series is called Loser and it follows Benji Holmes (not to be confused with Benjamin Stephens, star of book eleven because I'm some kind of dumb motherfucker) in his eighth grade. His first year in Monticello, so it's a Monticell...
