THE COUNTDOWN IS ON

So just two days before my 25th birthday I'm gonna get to see Weird Al for the third time this year in real life. I've been counting down to this concert since there were 80 days between me and it, and now there's less than 50 days before the concert. If you've seen anything I've ever written on the subject of what Al means to me, you know that this is a huge thing for me. I've never seen him this many times in one year. Never. Ever. Ever.
So I get to drive down to Joliet, IL in October. This will be the longest road trip I'll have ever driven, and it's not going to be the longest I'll ever do, because next tour I'm going to try and go to every single concert. Which will probably take me to all the parts of the states. And I can't wait. And you should be excited for this, too, guys, because this means that I'm gonna be pumping out the stories from now until the next tour is announced because I want to completely fund the tour-chase with my books.
And what I really, really, REALLY wanna do is be able to buy 2 tickets (nice close tickets for most of the concerts) for most (if not all) of the concerts and just randomly pick friends and/or random awesomers from the internet to come to the concerts with me. Because Al is best enjoyed with a friend.
So yeah. 48 days from now I'll be in the audience at a Weird Al concert. Hell to the yes.

The Waiting Game

Hey! I just realized that it's been like a month since I last updated this beast. I figure it's probably about time to try to do that quarterly "let me explain you a thing" post about why I'm being inactive or whatever.
Short story: I've been feeling uncreative and having some issues trying to even get words to come out.
Long story: I'm attempting to write a novel.

I just printed out all of my current projects' current files from my computer. I'm moving those files into another folder and not opening them again. Ever. I'm rewriting all of the projects and then will release them ASAP. Some will be long, some will be short, one might even hit 80k words.
I've also got a few surprise projects that I'll be working on and throwing out there at random.

Stella's Saga is on a slightly longer hiatus, sorry guys. Trying to work out some story continuity issues for book two. It'll be awhile, but I promise I'll finish it.

Sketchbooks, on the other hand, is getting the ax. I cannot do anything with that series anymore. Eventually I'm going to pull the first three books down and I'll give a shot at rewriting them or something, but for now they stand as a monument as to why I should finish writing a whole series before even talking about it or whatever.

Yeah so this has been a blog post.
