I've decided to try putting in more effort this year to write some stories. So, here's the plan: I want to post one new story or poem every month. I feel like that's the least I can do to say that I wrote all year, so that's what I'm gonna do. I want to leave myself some flexibility in writing whatever comes to mind sometimes since I have so many ideas, but I do have a small set of stories planned for the year already. Without giving too much away, here's everything planned so far:

At least 4 stories this year will be about Bear (including the first one that will be posted later this month).

Another 2 stories will be about a new couple of characters. Wally the seal and Sam the otter. They are boyfriends (as you might read when those stories come out).

I want to do at least 1 poem this year. Just to shake things up from writing stories all the time, I think. We'll see.

That leaves me with some wiggle room to work on any ideas I haven't thought of yet. Or maybe the year will be all about further developing these three characters. Either way, I look forward to this year!
