Accountability Check for 2019

December 31, 2018 by Rashid

Welp, I didn’t publish anything in 2018.

But:

  • I did make a decision to expand my one-short short story into an anthology, named it Time, selected a phenomenal cover designer, finished editing it, and now nearly done formatting it.
  • I finished editing Yours in the Bond and found a brilliant illustrator to bring the cover to life.
  • I devised a plan to become a full-time writer.
  • I sketched out/outlined the entire cycle of Dark Nation novels, which seems like it’s going to be a ten book series all together. (Some of those were going to be standalone novels, but I decided to string them together in the same universe.)
  • I saw Message from ‘The Legba’ performed!

I think that’s a productive 2018, considering I still had a stressful, but meaningful full-time job. That’s a win.

So for 2019, by this date I should have published the above two projects and completed the first draft for another.

A modest goal, for me, that leads into my full-time goal of writing two to three books a year.

As always, thanks for letting a brother roll with you through this thing called writing. See you in 2019!

Here’s a photo of me on a pot, because why not?
