New Year, New Plans?

Playing the harmonica could be a plan.

Well, it's now 2022. Or "2020 2". An unwanted sequel to an unwanted year.

2021 was a rough year, but one with some major ups. I finished my Creative Writing degree last year, graduating with First Class Honours. Graduating during a pandemic is no small feat. I also published my first book, Gentlemen of Fortune, as part of one of my university assignments. After finishing university, I decided I wanted to stay in the city, moving into a studio flat. I also landed some work as a ghostwriter on a series of Western novels.

Although I'm no longer a student, I'm still involved with some of the university societies, particularly the one dedicated to table-top roleplaying games. It was refreshing to be able to run in-person games again, although I'm not sure how long that's going to last. I must confess that I actually enjoy running games via Roll20, because it's easier to accommodate battle maps and tokens. That's handy for settings which involve more firearms and the variables associated with ranged combat.

What are my plans for this coming year now that I've finished university? I don't know. I'm still working on a ghostwriting project, along with a follow-up story to Gentlemen of Fortune. On top of that, I started a fan fiction project based on Dawn of Defiance, an epic campaign for a Star Wars roleplaying game which I've been running since May last year.

Let's see how this goes.

Happy New Year, and happy writing.
