… and in conclusion
Back in January, I talked about my approach for this year. Basically, I wanted to keep up with my serials, focus on longer fiction, and try to tackle one major project per quarter. I did keep up the serials (with … Continue reading
2015 halfway point
Back in January, I talked about how I was planning out my year — one major goal per quarter, keep up my serials, get Corn Maze up for sale, and make progress on the 50 States mystery series. Yeah . … Continue reading

52 weeks of finishing
My two goals for the year, you will recall, were to finish something each week, and to get something up for sale each month. Here’s how that went.
