2015 has ended up being a fantastic year for reading (exceeded my Goodreads' challenge target!) but a rather terrible one for writing. As this quick dumping of some old works may suggest, I'm hoping to turn that around in 2016 and start doing some wording of my own once more. Original fiction is a priority and the notion of making it into a publication like Clarkesworld a wistful dream, but I tend to stall myself somethin' fierce when I get too hung up on exactly what I'm writing, so we'll see what inspiration the new year brings. It might also be nice to branch this journal out into a bit of meta and whatnot.
