There’s no other way to describe 2015 other than ‘eventful’. I’m still reeling from the chain of events that have brought me to this point. From entering the first Sword & Laser Collection contest, becoming a runner up and being chosen for the collection, it’s all been an insane ride. I’ve discovered the near-euphoric joy of working with a good editor, had my book read and reviewed by a plethora of people, got an awesome cover blurb and will soon be seeing my book in the hands of readers. Started Paul Inman and I’s podcast, WriteBrain. Most of all though, I’ve been able to forge relationships with people I admire as well as meet so many new and awesome people that it’s hard to keep track of everyone.
None of this would have happened without your support. The silver lining of 2015 is completely your doing, and I'm forever grateful for that.
But, it wouldn’t be January 1st without resolutions. Like everyone I have the standard weight loss, increase in physical activity and maybe yelling a little less about robots in public places, but I have some creatively driven goals that I think might be interesting.
- Finish my first book for The Ed Greenwood Group (as per contractually demanded)
- Get A God in the Shed to 750 copies by April 1st and get it published
- Finish the sequel to The Life Engineered and start the funding campaign for it
- Write another book (I have ideas) and start giving it out to beta readers
- Write four short stories (I’m not good at short stories. I need the practice)
What are you guys looking forward to in this new year? Apart from more robots that it.
