As we enter a new year, it’s only natural to consider our plans for the next 12 months. Regarding my writing, I am largely going to continue where I left off in 2025, but these are my main targets.

It has been a rather busy year, with 12 short stories submitted to various publications. I spent most of the first half of 2025 furiously writing, using my anger about the state of the world to fuel my productivity. Most of my stories have developed a political edge and up until June, I felt I…

This month has been dominated by the release of The Wideness of the World anthology from the Furry Historical Fiction Society. It was initially available as a small batch release at Midwest FurFest prior to the official launch a week later. On 13 December, we held a launch party where over half of the authors…

There’s not very much to report this month – things have been rolling on, but there have been few breakthrough moments. We’re still waiting to hear back about the writing panels we submitted for Scotiacon, while we have now submitted our proposals for CFz too. Hopefully, we can run some engaging events that will provide…

It has been a year since I became a freelancer professionally and I have been in a reflective mood. I have been a writer and editor of online content in some capacity for 20 years now and have worked across a number of different sectors. I am currently trying to diversify my client base, but…

It’s been another slow month, largely because life has got in the way. I’ve also been back in the UK for the last 11 days seeing family and friends, so finding time for writing has been tough. I’m hoping this will pick up in October though, when the weather starts to turn cold and the…

It has been a rather slow month, as Summer so often is, largely because the weather has been so good. I am always compelled to do things outside when it’s sunny and so it has proven. I’ve also been a little overwhelmed with day-to-day living, so my energy has been lacking. At the start of…

Since the turn of the year, I have submitted 12 stories to various anthologies and naturally this has resulted in some rejections. The last six weeks have been the worst period for this since I started writing again back in 2022. Following this – and a discussion with my writing group back in June –…

Considering I usually take the Summer off, it has been a very busy month. This has largely been due to the poor weather here in Germany, meaning my office space has been much cooler than usual. I also bought an air conditioner. The month has been something of a mixed bag and it’s hard to…
