Not much to report today, as it’s been another slow month with only 16k words written in January. I expect to do better in February, as I have at least two short stories I need to write this month as well as a book about the new Quantum Leap show… and hopefully I can do more.
Coming up this month
One of the two stories I need to write is a new epic fantasy adventure featuring good old Reikk. I expect to have this done within two weeks and to post it on January 21—or January 28 if I run into any issues.
Plans for the new year
In the spirit of what I wrote last month—regarding not putting pressure on myself—the following should all be taken with a grain of salt. Nothing here is set in stone, but it’s what I would like to achieve this year. Or, to put it another way, what I’ll try to focus on, more or less in order.
more short stories
my mystery novel
start over with (and complete) “Everday”
write the 2 follow up novels to “Everday”
complete the Veric spinoff trilogy (under my Steffen Larken name)
and, if I can, complete the Through the Stars, Darkly series.
We’ll see how much of this I can get done.
It’s kind of frustrating because I have two BIG epic fantasy sagas I am dying to write. I’d planned to work on one of those this year, but considering how things went in 2023, everything’s been pushed back. But hey, who knows, I might switch projects around at some point.
Oh, and there’s another trilogy I might have to slip into the mix later this year, something for an existing franchise, but that’s all I can say for now as it hasn’t been greenlit yet.
Well, that’s all for now. More news next month ;)
Take care.
