Well, it's once again around the sun and time for me to take
stock of the happenings of this past year. Suffice to say, it's been kind of
rough.
A lot of my writing this year has been ghostwriting commissions, including a novelette, a couple of flash fictions, and a full-length novel. But I've paused my gig on Fiverr in response to the platform facing boycotts over Palestine. It's been a while since I've taken projects through UpWork, but I think it's time to jump on that again.
Furthermore, I expanded into writing for roleplaying games,
serving as a co-writer for a 5e-compatible adventure based on Calke Abbey. This
is part of a project to write a series of adventures set in National Trust
sites, and I hope it takes off because I'm interesting in seeing where else I
can take it. I'm actually going to be running a workshop on the subject at next
year's Swanwick.
Of course, I didn't just do gig projects. I published
another Kestrel and Scar story, The Homecoming at the end of October. I'm now
looking at other story ideas for my favourite troublemakers, while also looking
at compiling the three stories I've written so far into a single book for a
physical release.
There has been some trouble too. I left Twitter at the end
of November, which has become too much of a mess. Most of the likes my posts
were getting ended up being from bots, and most of my friends already jumped ship.
Fortunately, you can find me on Bluesky now.
Well, that’s about it. I’m still alive, and I’ll see you in
the New Year.
Happy writing.
