I’ve been working on this for about 18 months.

Setting #WritingGoals for 2025. I will have just 3 major goals along with some micro goals. But the three major goals are:

• Start/draft next project

Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers. - Isaac Asimov ~ Background shows an ink splotch on the left side of the words in the quote.

It's neat to see press releases about your friends' new books/trilogies. Unfortunately, their news aren't on my beat. But you should check Mark E. Scott and Jordan S. Keller out.
