Plans for February

January was a month of constant motion, yet still felt long somehow. Progress was made: a revised outline to an old story was completed, I came up with outlines for a few more, and I made some editing progress as well. Unfortunately, there was no translation or production of new material, but on the positive side, I finally got to see the long-awaited cover art for Sauragia 3! It looks pretty cool.

February will be shorter but just as packed. Not only will I be returning to Anthro Expo to man the Bluedrake Books booth this weekend (hopefully I’ll see some of you there!) and taking care of a lot of personal business, but I also have some more outlining to do, some maps to draw, and some actual rough drafts to put to paper! I also have a list of 52 blog ideas, so beginning next Thursday, I am going to challenge myself to actually make at least one post a week for the next year! We’ll see how that goes, but one thing is clear: the time for simply planning is over. It is time to begin!

Guest Post: The Renewal Blueprint: How to Kickstart Your Year with Energy, Focus, and Purpose

Sorry for the long delay in creating a first post for the year, but things came up in December that ate up most of my time and attention. So, the first post of this year will once again be by Christopher Haymon of Adulting Digest. This time, he will be discussing strategies for long-term growth that you can begin implementing right away to set a productive rhythm for yourself throughout this (relatively) new year!

Plans for January

It’s been quite a bumpy ride, but 2026 is finally here, and I’ve got big plans as always. The only difference is that this year, I should actually have the time to pursue them!

I will get started right away here in January with several projects. There is the never-ending Knights of Aralia series to continue working on, of course. And I will be doing a major rewrite of a project that’s always been near and dear to me as well. I may also play around with some translation work, but my main focus right now is on wrapping up old projects and producing new material. I am hopeful for the new year, but things are only going to happen if I get down to business and make them!

Happy New Year!

Get this year started right by making your resolution and sticking to it! Get to work on making your dreams a reality–or spend the day getting past that the consequences of last night’s excitement, if you prefer. Either way, be sure to return next week for my first proper post of 2026!

2025: A Year in Review

Greetings, and welcome to my final post of 2025! In this I will again be taking a look at my vending experiences throughout the year (I made no less than 12 this time!), but also just a general look at how things have come along and where they might be headed.Continue reading “2025: A Year in Review”

Plans for December

November seemed unusually long this year. Beginning with the rather lackluster Leavenworth Holiday Market and ending with a whimper, there just wasn’t much to talk about save a bunch of editing in the middle. Progress was made, if not as much as I’d like.

December, as always, will be a month of wrapping things up and preparing for 2026. Some final edits for Knights of Aralia, some further outlining, and perhaps a definitive plan for qhere to take the Sauragia series are all in the offing.
