Greetings, all! I hope this New Year’s Day finds you well, and ready to take on another 365 days of action and adventure! I am certainly excited, for not only does this day mark another year of possibilities, but October will mark my 5-year anniversary as a published author! Hard to believe it’s been so long!
December was a little bit of a disappointment, all told. While I did have a successful appearance at a Christmas Bazaar early in the month, I also got hung up on a project that should have taken no more than a week to finish. Instead, it took until Christmas Day! Numerous other minor tasks were accomplished regarding the business side of being an author etc., but for actual writing and editing, I have significantly less to show.
Nevertheless, this year is going to start off at a much more leisurely pace. With so many petty side tasks complete, I now have an almost clean slate with which to start anew with 2025, and I have two particular projects in mind. First is the overhaul of a manuscript I’ve had in mind for almost three years now, and which I have been looking forward to immensely. The second will be something more experimental in nature. I am going to attempt to write an epic poem! That’s right, I, who have never fancied myself a particularly great poet, am going to attempt to create a grand, long-form poem, which will hopefully be released a year and a half from hence to mark a very special occasion. In addition, I would like to begin doing a little historical research for a couple of side projects, as well as some more translating. But the aforementioned manuscripts will be my primary focus. Finally, at the end of the month (Jan. 30th-Feb. 2nd, to be precise), I will be attending my first convention of the year behind the Bluedrake Books banner: Anthro Expo in Norman, OK. Hope to see some of you there!
