Thanks to Alex for hosting this each month. Here is the complete list of participants.

Hi everyone,

December is here and 2026 is only a few weeks away. I am working on my Tolkien paper and some new stories that I will share more about soon. I have an old series I am working on and have started a new series as well. 

I can also say I am just about done with my Christmas shopping. Usually, I am not done until around the week before but this year I started a little early. I also bought myself a new macbook air to use for my writing. I still have my windows devices but have wanted a macbook for a long time. I plan to buy some programs like vellum (for formatting my books) and will need to get the scrivener version for mac but that is okay. I do plan to buy a mac desktop after the first of the year. 

I am not going to make a list of goals for the site either this year. I find that when I do make a list I tend not to stick to them. I do have an outline/agenda of what I want to accomplish like starting the store(s) and some other things like upping my substack posting on both the free and paid tiers and also possibly add something like that to the site and doing some updates to the site once again. All of this is being worked on and launch dates for the store(s) will be happening after the first of the year once I get some things behind the scenes figured out. 

That’s it for now. I look forward to your comments. :)
