January 2025 News

Happy new year.

Row chasing birds
Daytona Beach. December 26, 2024

I always have high hopes for these monthly updates. I plan to share pictures and talk about all that has happened, particularly on this year-end/beginning post. Then I procrastinate and beat myself up about sharing anything at all. 

All that to say we’re not getting anything fancy this year, kids. A lot of cool things did happen, but I don’t care to share them and upon further introspection I believe it’s because I don’t find what I write worthy of reading at this moment.

Here’s an update though.

Writing

V&V2 is still coming along nicely. Total word count across drafts is roughly 140,000. Final count should be in the neighborhood of 200,000. I’m still optimistic about a 2025 release but no promises.

Podcast

The Four Beardsmen of the Bookpocalypse has a lot planned for 2025. Click this link to our new home for the streams we have scheduled: https://www.youtube.com/@Fourbeardsmen/streams

We’ve got more guests and TTRPG sessions on the way so be sure to follow us.

There’s another potential podcast brewing between myself and a friend. I don’t know any details about it, but I’ll share them when I do.

Next Month

I really do aspire to show you more pictures and tell you more stories about what I’m up to, be it world-building, kayak renting, music playing, podcasting, or media consumption. But for now, as long as word-count for book 2 is king, you may only get writing updates.

The day, month, year will come when my attention zooms out again but it’s not today, despite that this is the prestigious first second day of the final year of the first quarter of the 21st century of the current era aka AD.

see you then
