2017 retrospective

This is what I said I wanted to accomplish in 2017, in terms of reading and writing -

Publish The Reluctant Dragonrider, the sequel to The Accidental Dragonrider. (Done.)

Publish the audiobook of Death & Magic. (Done.)

Publish another audiobook. (Not done, though I've recorded Plague & Poison and am most of the way through editing it, so that should be on sale early next year.)

Start writing the sequel to The Mirrors of Elangir. (Not done, though I've done some planning and outlining. Well - there are three and a bit days left in 2017, so I could jot down a few paragraphs and tick off this objective. But that would be cheating.)

Don’t let the TBR pile get any bigger. There are currently 56 unread books on my Kindle. I also have a few shelves of unread paperbacks that I ought to attack, with a view to getting rid of the ones that aren't worth re-reading. (I now have 36 unread books on my Kindle. I read a few of the paperbacks, but failed in my attempts to sneak them out to the nearest charity shop without Breda noticing...)

And as usual, I did a few things that weren't on the list. I took part in several book signings and public readings with the local writers' group, and helped to raise some money for various charities. I also had a short story accepted into a charity anthology. More about that next year, once I've been informed of a definite release date.

Come back in a few days to laugh at my wildly optimistic plans for 2018!
