It’s finally the end of 2024 and I have to say, while it has been tough at times it also has been an alright year.
I started drawing more. I haven’t posted much as I’m still self conscious about, but drawing something is better than nothing. Hopefully soon I’ll have some things to share.
Broken Wing was completed and Bird House was revised. Seeing Bird House change into the current state it is feels much better. It’s what kicked off a new side of me and I have so many to thank for it. The next writing project is coming slow and beating me up with writers block, but it’s slowly coming along.
I got to dip my feet into Blender and explore 3D sculpting more. While I’m still incredibly green, it’s been a long time dream to learn the program.
I attended my first ever convention with Anthrocon 2024! If you were there, you probably didn’t know I was. Still working on being a bit more social in public. But if you saw a fairly tall person with wild hair, it may have been me!
As for 2025, I have a few goals.
As much as I am safe in my current living situation, I also can’t help but feel held back in some ways. Over the last few years I’ve felt like I can be more expressive and myself. To continue this journey, I think it’s quickly coming time for me to move on my own. That’s my personal life goal.
As for project goals I can think of three I’d like to do. Neighborwood is my current focus. It’s not exactly coming quickly as I recently scrapped much of what I had written. It felt fine but feels like the new version is going a direction I’m much happier with.
I’ve been working with some others to begin making a blue jay head for cons. It’s a printed base but hope to have it finished in time for FWA this year. Not 100% sure I’ll make it, but would love to have it as an option if I can go. If you are going, I’d love to meet you!
Anima. While Lyall’s story is over, I still have so many ideas for the world. One that has been heavily requested is a prequel for the Bird House focusing on Darren and Damien. I have ideas but also don’t want to burn people out on the characters. I have a few short stories that are in various stages of completion that I’d love to post this year. As always, I love hearing your thoughts on future work.
2025 is almost here. I have goals that I believe are achievable and really appreciate all of the encouragement I have received the past few years. I wish you a happy new year and can’t wait for what’s coming in the future.
