Field Notes
What was supposed to be the January (and inaugural edition) is being published today! However, for posterity's sake, I'll only cover happenings of interest from January.
I shall return later this month with February's issue.
And please bear with me as I figure out the formatting for the issues.
I want to ensure it's a record for my own existence, but also pleasurable and useful for you! If you have any suggestions or advice, please email me.
I've achieved much in and around work this month!
A little writing and reading, a few lovely email exchanges, but most has been admin: setting up my Ko-Fi and Payhip stores, compiling stories for Echoes Of Distant Stars, my first short story collection, preparing The Mara Files for re-publication, and sorting out my publishing process.
Digital cleaning and mending, if you will!
On the last day of 2024, I posted my goals for the upcoming year. So far, I've achieved two (setting up my Ko-Fi store, launching my monthly newsletter.) Onwards!
