I think it should be pretty obvious based on some of my social media posts this month what I’ve been working on. I mean, sure, I have other things on the to-do list (including attempting to take time off), but getting GOATS ready for publication has been my priority.
My upcoming book is definitely a passion project. I got weird (well, weirder than usual), experimental, and dug deep into some past personal traumas before spewing them on the page. I wrote this book for me, fully aware that it would not be for everyone. But based on the feedback from my amazing beta readers, I think there’ll be a few of you out there who might just enjoy this latest horror as much as I do.
I’ve also been doing a little bit of writing on other projects, but that’s been rather piecemeal so far this month. I honestly don’t expect that I’ll get a ton of writing done. In addition to putting the finishing touches on GOATS, I’ve also been doing a lot of planning for 2026. I’ve planned out a years worth of writing and editing goals so that I can keep up with my pesky self-imposed deadlines.
Stay tuned because I have some super fun books and events coming up in 2026!
And in between all of that planning, prepping, and publishing I’m (brace yourselves) RESTING. I mean, let’s see if I actually follow through with it… But I do have some days off blocked in my calendar during the holiday season. During those days “off” I do have plans (so I won’t be a complete potato). I’ll be spending time with family and friends, and catching up on reading goals (again, self-imposed).
So wish me luck over the next couple of weeks – let’s see if I can commit to a proper rest before the chaos of 2026 starts!
