2023 in Review
2023, like 2022 was another mixed bag of things. I didn’t get as much done as I’d like, but there was definitely a variety of new and exciting things accomplished.
#7 Catoverse - Unrelated Project
I’ve begun an unrelated writing project for fun that’s been dubbed the Catoverse. It involves these stories and their world. I’m writing a larger work (probably a full length novel) set in that world with the character Cato. We’ll see if it ever gets done. It gets the bottom ranking because it is not in-verse.
#6 Anthology of the Empire
I keep forgetting about it, but I did build and launch The Anthology of the Empire this year, which is a place to search stories from both myself and other authors.
#5 Commissions
Only three commissions done this the year, but still deserves a ranking. I don’t have any plans for more commissions next year. My lack of strong ideas is why it stopped early in the year.
#4 Angel Prose Poems
I wrote a set of four prose poems, one for each of the sects of Angels. Was a fun exercise. I’m thinking of doing it for random Paeyk tribes next. We’ll see.
#3 Book 11 Progress
Although it is not done, I made good progress on the 11th book (which will probably titled as a volume in a sub-series instead of as a book). I hope to get it wrapped up next year. It’s been a rougher journey than expected.
#2 MAPS
I purchased Wonderdraft and made some maps! It’s pretty fun and interesting to properly map out areas. I hope to continue making maps for various locations.
#1 Jurak’s Day
I actually finished writing the full-novella of Jurak’s Day, which takes the top spot for being the only major writing work I really completed this year.

2024 in Review
A meager year. Fell off a cliff in terms of productivity, but there was still three major highlights… Senet Rules I did make up rules for Senet. Was interesting to work on/figure out. Crochet Characters I got into crochet this year and I made a few characters in crochet form: Dien, Chatzu’kuan, and Jurak. Plus a Szarehan and a Baune. I could continue to make more, but I’m not sure who to make next. Tales Volume 1 / Book 11...
2022 in Review
2022 was an interesting year. I was able to finish a great deal of old, random projects and try new things after completing Amethyst Shards last year. It was a quasi-break year but also a year of experimentation and wrap-ups. Anyway, here’s my top seven Spine-related events. #7 More Character Development Spotlights I completed character spotlight posts for Cyclone, King, Spellbinder, and Farrco. Dien is still pending hers and then I’ll be done with the Trinity and the One cast....
