In 2025, my basic writing plan was to post a story each month on my website, one each month on one of my blogs, and one each quarter on my Ko-fi page. That works out to seven stories every three months. Not all of these stories were new, but still it turned out to be a lot. I ended up missing a few months from general writing burnout, as well as stress from my personal life as well as the general collapse of society. So for 2026, I’m going to make a bit of a change. The first is I’m stopping doing a story each month on my website, and instead will only do one each quarter. I’ll also only do a story each quarter on one of my blogs as well as on Ko-fi. I’m also planning on trying to do a story each quarter on my Buy Me A Coffee page. I set this up years ago, but never did anything with it. But on the off chance I might make a few bucks off it, I figured I’d try it out. So instead of working on seven stories each three months, I’ll only have to do four. Hopefully, this will lead to better quality as well as less stress. As well as more time for me to work on other projects.
One of my goals
for 2025 was to finish up my Lunar Dreams project, which is essays on how we
could colonize the moon. I, unfortunately,
didn’t get much done with this. Besides
all the drama of a collapsing society, there was also the point that I
originally planned to release it on Amazon.
But in the last few years, it seems fewer people are buying books from Amazon. I understand that, but it also sucks because that’s
were all my books are. I need to
diversify, and I have checked out Draft2Digital, but I’d like to test the
waters a bit before launching a big project there. So my plan for 2026 is to self-publish two
stories on Draft2Digital and see how they go before deciding if I want to do
Lunar Dreams there. These two stories I
wrote years ago, but there are some clunky bits I need to hammer out before I
post them.
Those are my plans
for 2026. Hopefully, by the end of the
year we’ll have stopped our slide into darkness. I don’t want my plans for 2027 to just be to
survive.
