Year in review—2021

How did I do in 2021? Not my best year, to be honest. In fact, it was hands down my worst year yet. Sigh.

My Kindle Vella story has the lowest profit for any story I’ve published

Kindle Vella is not profitable for me at this point in time by any definition of the word.

False starts and reconfigurations

Two steps forward, one step back. If repeated enough times, I will still get to where I want to be.

Sprinting in Discord

Like timed writing, sprinting in Discord is meant to help me write more/faster by keeping me focused. Yeah, you probably know where this is going.

Back to the drawing board

I am ever the optimist. Optimism is not enough to save a failed experiment from repeating itself.

Working on a short story today

I’m writing and that’s good. I wish it were easier going but I’ll take what I can get.

A Windows 11 upgrade

Windows 11. A little bland, but an improvement. I don’t regret upgrading my computer, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.
