Merry Christmas y'all! Hope it was a good one, or at least a relaxing one with at least one gift under a tree. With the well wishes out of the way, it's time to get into the meat of this journal, a long overdue update.

This year has been a ride, one marked, once more, by a chronic inability to upload consistently despite a backlog that stretches back years. It's not for lack of trying. Some part of it has to come from just, uploading seems to require I be in a certain mindspace, while writing is something I can just do. I write a ton, a little bit every day at least. I have a few longer stories in excess of 10K words awaiting upload or polishing, and a ton of shorter stories. Those are all going to be uploaded in due time.

However, what I've come to have a surprising amount of is microfiction. Stories that are so short as to not stand on their own, sometimes not even breaching a thousand words. What to do with these is a debate I've labored over and I still don't know. I tried doing a short TF compilation many years ago, and I'm kind of leaning towards that again, three themed to a post, simply because I think they're too short to be satisfying. Maybe a duo per upload? I don't know, lemme know what y'all think I should be doing with this.

In the coming year, I have a lot of projects I want to do, and the first half may simply end up being finishing comms, taking a couple of those, getting Citadel (a CYOA) out, and in general try to clear out more of the backlog. I want to also standardize some stuff and in general try to keep moving forward.

See you all soon! Thank you for reading this far!
