Jan 2026 Update & Monthly Goals
Still doing these! The Saturn Anomaly Still at the Pentagon, but it’s fully edited. The only work I’ve done on it is to do some math on how long it’ll take after I get clearance to publish it – 60 days is what it worked out to. Hoping to hear back and set a release…

End Nov 25/Start Dec 25
Not my best writing month, but it ended well, and it bodes well for December and January. Work and family stuff took a lot of my time, The Saturn Anomaly Still at the Pentagon, but at least the government reopened and hopefully they’ll get to my book soon! I also went through all of my…

End of October/Beginning of November
A great month both in my personal/professional life and my writing one! Crush Depth Lots of blog posts on this; check the book page (click on the title above) to see them all. I wrote 30,000 words this month. I had hoped for about half that but outlining took a lot less time than I…

End of September/Beginning of October 2025
An absolute whirlwind of a month. It was fun while it lasted but I’m glad it’s over! Crush Depth I’ve decided to shelve the current version – you can read about that here. But I’m making a lot of progress on the next iteration – read about my progress here (where I do a quick…

End of August/Beginning of September 2025 Update
Another month in the books! Actually got a few blog posts in, but wrote a bit slower than I would have liked. Crush Depth Feedback is still trickling in, and I decided to get The Saturn Anomaly out the door to my beta readers before I really dive into the feedback. Still, I don’t think…

July 2025 Goals
Smaller goals than the previous few months – the first half of the month is shot with a pair of short vacations. Nevertheless, time to get some writing done! Crush Depth It’s out with my alpha readers – hopefully I can start edits based on their feedback by the end of the month. I’d also…

End of January 2025 Wrapup
It’s been a month. My company launched our first orbital rocket, and I was part of the team supporting it. I didn’t get anywhere near as much done in my hobbies (weightlifting, writing, reading, video games) as I had planned. But it still was a successful one. Writing I finished the final developmental edits for…

January 2025 Goals
This is it, the start of the new year! I have a lot of writing goals for the year, and this is where it all begins. Writing The Europan Deception I’ll be editing this one hardcore in January and February. I had 15 beta readers’ worth of feedback and I’ll be incorporating a lot of…

November 2025 Start-of-Month
Going to be another lowkey month before December, at least unless the New Glenn manage to pull the launch date for the rocket that my prototype satellite I’ve been working on for the last year will be flying on to the left. Writing For November, beta feedback on The Europan Deception is still coming in…

October 2024 Plan
Another month, another plan to not follow! Writing The Europan Deception is still at the small press I queried, and I may try another one before fully going down the self-pub route. More to come! Crush Depth I’m planning to get pretty far into, hopefully go from the current 20,000 words to something like 40-50,000…
