2024 - It's a Wrap

 Looking Ahead

It is getting so close to the end of 2024 that many are already considering 2025 resolutions. Never mind; I don’t do them, but if you do, great. Change for the good is never bad, and isn’t that what resolutions are all about?



Looking back on 2023 - here are a few things I have learned.

 It now seems unlikely I will get my followers on X to the one million number. Being short by a little over 998,000 after over a decade, it might be time to give up—not give up Twitter—X, but give up on trying to drum up more of a following. I have not tried too hard, and my numbers show it.

Engaging in any online politics is not only a waste of time but might also harm our health. (worry, worry, worry) I occasionally comment, but let's face it, no one will change their mind when any of us disagrees with a political post. It is good for a smile or laugh some days; otherwise, not much good comes of it.

Saying I will write or edit more next year is not enough—I guess I will really need to do it.

If independent writers want to sell books, it takes work.

And this is the last one—my resolution for 2025 – I will finally publish the two books I have completed, even if that is all I get done in the world of writing.

Happy New Year! Keep on writing, editing, reading, and, most of all, publishing and raking in all that money.
