2024 Writing Wrap-up

Was 2024 a good year?

Book sales wise, no. I was down 50% from last year, and with one more book in my catalogue, that’s disappointing to say the least.

All my blogging stats were up, though.

My most popular post continues to be this one…

…but, it hasn’t translated to any sales of my poetry books, so I must conclude that readers don’t like the poems, or they just like free poetry, I suppose.

I wrote 312 posts this year which totaled 139K words. That’s two novels worth.

I also finished my novella, so let’s add 30K to that. I’ll be spending the next week reading it one more time before sending it to my editor.

Do I have any goals for 2025?

I’d like to finish the third book in my Orion Arm Alliance series faster than the others, but we’ll see. I hope for more books sales, of course, with minimal monetary output.

I hope to continue writing entertaining posts for everyone and reading what you are creating.

Here’s to a productive new year.
