G Younger: Blog

I'm currently writing the last chapter of Junior Year. I had to break it into 2 parts or I would've never gotten it done ... whew!

The target for posting will be mid to late September. So be on the lookout.

Now for something completely different!
I have a short story that came from sitting around a poker table and listening to my friends tell a few lies... all in good fun. One of them said something that stuck with me. He said 'You Can Sell Anything on Craigslist!'

The next day another friend called me and told how his older sister was giving him a hard time. In joking I told him that he should sell her on Craigslist.

So long story short I couldn't get the concept out of my head. I even tried to pawn the idea off on other writers. So I finally sat down and wrote it. The thing is it is VERY different than anything I've ever written. So much so that I was worried that the readers on SOL wouldn't like it.

Jay Cantrell read it told me to post it. I'm trusting him on this one ... so I'll start posting it this week. I hope you enjoy it.

BlackIrish was a friend first, confidant, collaborator and my editor that I relied on. We lost contact with him a couple of months ago and just confirmed that he passed. I'm saddened that he is no longer with us.

BlackIrish helped me from almost the beginning. He made my stories much better with his no nonsense approach and pulled me back from the ledge many times. I can't express how much I learned from the man. I will miss him.

He made me a better writer and I know he helped many others.

I will raise a glass to his parting and encourage you all to the same. I'll miss you Mr. Bill.

I went and did it. When I took a break to write other things (Little Tony and Getting it Wrong) I needed to get away from David and friends. What I didn't realize was it would give me a chance to step back and come up with a ton of material.

I've written 24 chapters (about 300,000 words) and only gotten through the first of November in my time line. At this rate the book will be over a 100 chapters long. I've been told by more than a few readers that they don't want to wait that long, so I made the decision to split the book into two like I did Freshman year.

The goal is to have it ready to start posting by early fall.

Thanks for the patience.

I've always been a big fan of the Do Over story. This is my second attempt with this story. The first attempt I sent out to a group of my readers because I wanted to see if I was on track. Thank goodness I did, because I think I broke ever rule and in their opinion a half finished first book.

I took their notes and rewrote Getting it Wrong. This will be the first in a trilogy - Getting it Done and Getting it Right.

I wrote this while I took a break from Stupid Boy. I also wrote Little Tony and Pia while I got my head back into SB. I've started two other books. One is the sword and sorcerer fantasy world. Between that and science fiction that was about all I read when I was younger. In the next week or so I will offer a look at the beginning and see if I am on the right track - much like I did with Getting it Wrong.

The other book I tried to pawn off the idea on a couple of authors, but they chickened out. The premise is a boy has an evil sister who torments him. He finally has enough and decides to sell her on Craigslist. You can sell everything on Craigslist - Right? There are two ways this could go - very dark or funny. I picked funny and I think you will like it. It is bringing out my inner Mark Twain. Small town likable boy who seems to get himself into trouble.

So before I go off on a tangent about how my job and family is more important that writing... lets get back on track.

Check out Getting it Wrong on Saturday.
