I used to be ambitious and list a lot of goals, but I’ve learned since to keep the list short. After all, there’s more to life than writing. I talked about this in my prior post which you can read here. I’m working on the fourth volume of the Inverted Frontier series and if things go well I’ll have a final draft before year’s end. If things go really well, the novel will be done well before the end of 2023. Will I be able to publish book 4 this year? I don’t know. In the past I’ve rushed two books to publication ( Silver and Pacific Storm), just to get them out before the end of the year, and both did dreadfully from a sales perspective. Silver mostly recovered over time Pacific Storm never did. So if I’m not ready to go by, say, early September, book #4 will need to wait until 2024. See my prior post, where I realized that 2023 will be the tenth anniversary of the original publication of The Red: First Light in its indie edition. For years I’ve talked about writing a novella in this story world. That’s three goals and that’s ambitious enough. If I can do these three things, I’ll be satisfied. But just as a reminder to myself, I’ll mention two bonus projects: (1) Start outlining the fifth and last volume of the Inverted Frontier series and (2) Put together that third short story collection I’ve talked about over the last few years.
