G Younger: Blog

I'm sitting on the back patio soaking up the sun. It is 86 and the robins have left to head up north.

I've recently received a lot of emails wanting to get an update on the next book - Junior Year - Spring. Specifically, when will it start posting on SOL and if they want the pre-release version, when will it be ready?


The good news is the delay between books will not be as long this time. Junior Year - Fall will be ending in May. My team and I are shooting for posting the first chapter of Junior Year - Spring around the end of July or early August.


The better news is I am currently writing the first draft of the Spring book. It looks to be 29 chapters long, so it should give you a little over 7 months of reading enjoyment on SOL.


The goal is to have it done by this summer (or sooner) for pre-release. I will send out an email and post on SOL when it is ready.


FYI - Thanks for the feedback on the current book. I am glad that people have noticed that my writing is getting better. I appreciate you allowing me to use you all as I learn my craft. I'd never really thought I could write, but from your feedback and the guidance of my capable editors I've felt my work was getting better.


Recently I've received some very encouraging feedback on my most recent book.


Thank You,

G Younger

Occasionally I will slip in stories that happened in my life. Chapter 20 has one of those stories - Dead Hog in the Road. This one and Road Trip are the two most told at family events.

Road Trip tells the story of me taking my new pup to Thanksgiving at my uncles farm. I learned a valuable lesson that day. NEVER feed a dog that might get car sick before you go on a two hour car ride. Let's just say my dad was not a happy camper with any of us.

I've renamed Stupid Boy - Junior Year to Junior Year - Fall.


Along with the name change there is a new book cover to reflect the new name and different cover art. I've also added an Interlude as a bridge between Sophomore Year and Junior Year - Fall.


Merry Christmas and have a Happy Holidays.

There is a forum where you can post story ideas. Someone asked if anyone had actually written a story based on those ideas.

Here is my offer. Send me your ideas and I will write a story based on the idea and give you credit for it.

The only rule is it can't be too involved, because I am currently working on a small project right now (Stupid Boy). And no it can't be Getting it Done or the next Little Tony story...

EDIT: I will write the ONE story out of ALL the entries.
