Fail Forward

Well, we kinda shit the bed as it came to our “12 days of xmas” posts.  Final count 6 posts from December 15th-December 23rd.  Meh, I can live with it I guess. It’s now New Year’s season (funny how that changes in a week’s time.)  



The goal for the remainder of the week will be to buy some author books, plan the final posts for the end of this year, plan the first three for ‘26 and then begin the hunt.  I need to finalize my manuscript and find indie publishers and agents to send them out to. 


As I’m doing that I also need to find some in-person author events, and plan my own. I would love to plan an event in Colorado Springs with two other Black authors.  It does seem extremely daunting, but it’s only that way because it’s on paper with no action, currently.


How am I feeling about the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026? I would say a little better than last year.  This year was a big writing year for me; I completed and published a free ebook, and recorded my first audio book.  So yeah, I’m pretty hopeful about continuing this journey. I’ve learned that posting on social media can be overwhelming, and I need to back that up with more in-person stuff.


On a side note, this time last year I was preparing to leave teaching and had some doubts. But hey, I’m still employed and things seem to be moving in an upward fashion.


So this is it for now good faithfuls, I’m heading over to the Ai room to start the journey of creating at least 3-4 post to end this year out on.  


Until next time good folk–duckies!
