It is Sept. 12, 2024, and it’s been over a whole damn year since I updated this blog.Wow.
If you’ve only been following me here, you might think I just disappeared. I have not! I’ve actually been busy as hell. What have I been up to? Writing! So much writing, friends, so much:
- The Scriptorium: my non-fiction/essays blog now has over 226 posts, and 16 paid subscribers!
- The Bibliotheca: my fiction blog — yes, a relaunch. Ream wasn’t working out for me, and while my long-term goal is to self-host
a fully operational space stationan integrated author platform for direct sales, subscriptions, and more, in the meantime I need to keep things simple. - Patience & Fortitude: My blog about grief and mourning got an upgrade and a complete redesign to coincide with the re-release of Grieving Futures.
- Become an Unstoppable Storyteller: How to Craft Compelling Serials was released last August!
- By the Seat of Your Pants: Secrets of Discovery Writing was released this past March!
- I appeared as a guest on a bunch of podcasts!
- Launched the 1 Million Words Club, which I have not been good about marketing.
Along with that, I re-wrote and re-launched the Dragon’s Grail serial, started a few other stories, and continue to work occasionally as a productivity coach for authors.
Unfortunately, none of that paid the bills, and I ended up doing a gofundme earlier this year. I honestly thought I would be homeless by February, but sales and friends have kept me afloat. This month I start a new part-time job with the Novo Collegian Alliance that will cover my bills while allowing me the freedom to work on my projects.
I know, you’re just here to hear about Keely. Well, she’s doing pretty good fora 17 year old doggo!
She’s a bit more gray around the muzzle, and sadly, we’ve entered her diaper era. She’s just old, y’all. But she’s still enjoying her treats and going for walks and occasionally deigning to pay attention to me. I couldn’t ask for more.
So, you know where to find me. I think it might be another year before I update here again, so be sure to go visit one of my other platforms and follow me there!
