I have a group of old and a group of new 'writing things' that are mostly horrible attempts at trying to write a novel. (I have chronicled and posted arguably the worst of the bunch here.) There are about 6-10 'writing things' in each group and at this point I think it would be best for me to try to edit as most of them as I have the stomach for into short stories and package them as two unique collections (one for the old and one for the new). The old one I know I want to call Yawns & Licks, but I'm not sure about the new one. I'm going to try to tackle one piece a day and then package and format them when all the editing is complete. Please wish me luck. This is a truly thankless enterprise but I need to do it before I can move onto the next big thing.
2001: The Real History of the USA
This is the first chapter of a ~3K-word novel attempt, which I wrote circa 2008-2009. IDK what I should do with it. It's so bad. At this point, I should probably just post it 'as is' on this blog and be done with it. There are a few writing things from this era of my life which are almost as bad, but this is kind of unique in its badness (from a tone point of view, especially). A lot of the other stuff I think I'm gonna edit as best I can and package as a book of short stories.
(This is all part of a larger decluttering effort I have recently began. POST or DELETE is my new motto when it comes to all this unfinished shit––be it physical art, random Google docs, music files, etc.)
UPDATE: Here it is LOL. So edgy and raw. The Next Great American Novel™.
