Well...it's been an absolutely wild year! This time last year, I had made myself the goal of having 20 published works to celebrate 2020. And while that goal was lofty, it was made even more impossible-feeling by the events that rocked the world. However, I exceeded my goals and now have 21 published works. You can read about all of them here.
This year I also started a new website and a newsletter with some friends. It was a pretty productive year, as I published my sci-fi series that I'd been talking about forever, another body swap book, and some short stories and novellas. I'm proud of what I accomplished, but I also pushed myself harder than I should have.
So this year, I'm simplifying my goals. I still want to maintain a healthy balance of writing and publishing, so my plan is to publish at least two books and write at least four. If you catch me exceeding these goals early in the year, don't call me out on it, but please do check in on me. Sometimes I need to be reminded to slow down.
I'm praying and hoping for a better year for everyone in 2021. Whatever you choose to set as a goal or resolution for yourself, remember to live with grace. Not just for others, but for yourself as well. We're only human and we can only stretch and bend so far before we break.
Finally, if you're interested in this kind of thing, I have another personality test for you. This time it's based on the Ryson siblings, featured prominently in the Onepian Chronicles.
Happy reading, everyone!
