2026 Writing Goals
My 2025 Writing Goals went really well, so I'm continuing on to make this a tradition. For my 2025 goals, I wrote down 16 goals. I did not expect to accomplish them all, and I was perfectly OK with that. I didn't even expect to get halfway through. I felt like 5 or more would be good. The idea wasn't necessarily to accomplish them all... if I did, fantastic. The idea was to list out all the goals that I'd like to see myself accomplish, some combination of them. And work towards getting as many as I could.

The Honest Truth: Out of the five online side gigs I tried, only one was successful.
The Honest Truth: Out of the five online side gigs I tried, only one was successful. I sought independence, adaptability, and additional revenue. Instead, I discovered disappointment, broken promises, and one unanticipated victory.

Not A Top Story
Introduction This is the last Top Story and any kind of non-read reward from Vocal. That was in October 2025. November 2025 was the last time I was able to produce a brand-new story on this account.

Walking Out Of 25 Into 26

End of December: 13 Goals Accomplished
It's December 30th... the year is almost over. And I accomplished one more of my writing goals, just in time. Finishing the rough draft of my novel that I was working on (Code Name: Greenies) was a different goal, and I completed that earlier in the year. I knew I'd take a break from it and then come back, so seeing if I could complete the second draft of it was a separate goal. End of December, and I got it.
