Plans

With the release of my Gower Beaches book and the conclusion of my union rep training, it looks like a have a whole week of free evenings ahead. So, how am I going to spend them? 

Well, I did a bit of planning for November's Nanowrimo last night. Whatever you think of the event, I have found it useful in the past to get a creative project that has got trapped in my head finally down on paper and out into the world at large. With its 30 day target, it's a tough event to complete, but even if I don't fully get what I want to take out of the event, I will at least have pushed the project forward, which is always a good enough result.


Anyway, just to get things clear as much in my own head as to keep anyone interested in my work updated, these are my projected plans going forward as from today, October 26th 2024:

November '24 - Get the first draft of Familiar - "Something Wicked" done and dusted.

February '25 -  Publish my next horror novel.

With the publication of Familar - "Something Wicked", I will get to work on the new Guy N Smith zine. Although I will be acting more as an editor than a creator on this book, I will be adding a couple of personal bits to its contents. Although not set in stone, these will probably take the form of a few more Lego GNS book covers and a Knighton fancon illustrated writeup...

April '25 - Publish the new GNS zine.

May '25 - Commence Work on my second book on Glastonbury. I may, or may not, undertake this as a 100-day project.

August '25 - Publish Avalon 2

Thereafter - Continue work on my long put-off story, Pyewacket.
