So… in the end, a quiet year on the published story front, with two new stories out in the first half.

Still, I’m happy with what’s out there, and happy in the progress I think I’m making in writing at a more consistent level. Happy, really, to be still writing at all, considering the many other much more talented people I’ve known who’ve stumbled upon the rock-strewn way. Happy to be able to pick my own slow path to my own destination, with whoever is willing to come along.

Despite the barren-looking fields, be assured that deep in the earth, there are roots still frantically growing.
