I just invoiced my 36th and presumably final manga rewrite this year, which means I was chugging along at a rate of about one every 12-15 days.I saw the publication of my novelet “In the Garden of Ibn Ghazi” at F&SF, a market I’ve long admired but never felt confident enough to submit to.I saw the publication of my revised backlist, which is now back in print.I wrote most of a short story and abandoned it, I finished a different short story that was accepted for a project, and I’m working on a third that’s requiring a fascinating dive into machine learning and the philosophy of the future of humanity.I had a reprint accepted to a fuckin rad anthology.I wrote a bunch of my novel-in-progress, decided the middle was floppy, and am in the process of ripping that all out and replacing it with something better.I won an award for a novel I’ll never feel confident about.I received ~90 books for the award I’m currently reading for, and I’m closing in on the end of the stack.Not bad!
