Closing of a Year and the end of a Decade
2020 is right around the corner, and I am hopeful it will be a good writing one for me.
As I am sure anyone who actually reads these posts knows, I don't write much anymore. Armoured Fox Press takes up a LOT of my time, as does writing for Hentai Diaries. (an online dating sim game I suggest you go and check out) This means I don't have a lot of time to write for myself, which is a shame. No looking at calls for short stories, no working on the novella I have wanted to write since my father passed away, no nothing.
I am still working hard on getting projects from Armoured Fox Press finished and out the door so I can concentrate on my own works. This has meant hiring help, which means I won't see any profit from the projects I am working on, but that is to be expected as we have such a small library currently.
Still, I am enjoying it, which is the good part. (well, not the not writing part I have to admit) There is a certain level of joy that comes in getting the proof copy of a book and finally hitting that 'publish' button as it were. There is a certain joy in talking to writers and listening to them pitching their works, or helping them to find a publisher that may be better for them if their works don't fit within what AFP publishes.
So anyway, here we are, the last days of 2019. The last decade has seen a lot of changes for me, it also saw me start my writing career and the fulfilling of a lifelong dream. It also saw me become an editor and start my own small publishing company. (Oh, and also getting married and buying a house. :P)
What is the next year going to bring about? Hopefully my own published novel, more stuff for Armoured Fox Press, and hopefully my work in a number of anthologies. (cause only getting one or two a year kinda sucks for me) Other than that, I hope to read more books, try not to waste my time on bad books (I have a nasty habit of not stopping once I realize I am not enjoying a novel), and reading more manga as I am finding I really do enjoy them and now own a small collection.
So thank you for being with me on this site over the last couple years and being interested in what I am writing. For any author starting out it is always a blessing when someone reads something you have done and recommends it to their friends. It helps get the word out there, and that's important for authors who aren't world famous, and for small publishers as well who don't have the marketing money that the big pubs do.
Thank you for everything, and hopefully I can surprise you with a few neat things in the years to come.
