So in 2017 I made the decision to try sharing some of my writing online in the hopes that it would motivate me to improve my writing skills. It was a great year for my writing and despite working full time for most of the year I was still able to produce over 150,000 words of creative content for this blog. I actually produced a lot more, but I only published a small selection. This year though I want to focus on starting up my own YouTube channel and podcast. So I will have to put my writing lower down on my schedule. Like I had to do last year when my working hours increased dramatically. So for 2018 I will only do one writing update per week, but this will be a bigger update of 2,500-4,000 words. If you want to support me on Patreon you may, but my writing production will be much less this year. I will focus more on short stories, and finishing existing projects.

If you’re new to my site:

* Try reading some of my short stories

* Have a read of my finished first drafts

* If you’re brave, have a read of some of my works in progress

Writing goals for 2018:

* Finish The Monk and The Horror of Humhyde

* Edit Space Fall into publishable form

* Write a dozen short stories (6/12)

* Write a non-fiction work for Philosophical Therapist

* Begin work on two children’s stories

I’ve been maintaining this site for a few months now and I am trying to improve the experience for my readers. I have made some changes to the layout that should help people to work their way through the stories in the correct order. In the right-hand column there is a section labelled “Serials”. Here you can just click on the title of a story and get a customised selection of the entries for the work you are interested in reading. This is helpful if you just want to catch up on the latest entries and are looking for them quickly. If you’re want to start a serial from the beginning then I’ve made a couple of pages to help with that: Current Projects and Finished Projects. You can find the links to these pages at the top of the page.

I release updates on a weekly basis. You can see my schedule here.

I share previews of the following week’s stories on Patreon for the $3 subscribers. I only charge Patrons on a Saturday when I make a mayor update. These previews are generally unedited and sometimes major changes will happen to them in the official releases of that particular story so don’t be surprised if there are some changes when they are released.

That’s all for now, I hope you enjoy my writing!
