I think it was my best year since I started attending them. Did a bit more trades this time around. Introduced metal castings this year which went well. Only have one of ten castings remaining. Haven&#8217;t decided how I want to handle that, be a bit silly to cart it around come next zine fest season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Definitelies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This upcoming year I would like to finish New Testament. That will involve probably the fifth and final volume of the collected version. I also would like to make a large edition that is more closer to the actual pieces, will have to look into that once I actually finish. Maybe I&#8217;ll get to it this year, or might put that off till 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get Out of Bed, picked up a bit this year after not really selling. Somehow this year was finally the time someone asked me what a floppy disk was. This year I hope to finish my more complex interactive fiction, so keep an eye out for that. Not sure how I&#8217;ll package it, unfortunately my cats destroyed my floppy drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I plan to also finish The Descent of Cynthia Beetleworx with one last volume, bringing it to three in total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maybes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Derelict Ink the zine, will be paused for a bit until I finish all that. Though who knows, maybe I&#8217;ll get that all done with and have time to write a couple of issues. Going forward New Testament and The Descent of Cynthia Beetleworx will no longer be featured. I think it has caused confusion and am still debating removing them from the previous volumes. So my plans is to just stick with a single story made up of three poems and a section of prose to finish it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I thought about creating a Derelict Ink RPG system for solo adventures. Ideally it would be a single page instructions, and then the rest would be a kind of choose your own adventure with dice rolls. Definitely nothing crazy new I know, but I think it be fun to make a couple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Superfluous Soothsayer Teeth did so well at the zine fests, I am tempted to make a new casting. It won&#8217;t be the same of course since I like the idea of keeping castings low count and unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that said it does seem like this year will be busy creatively for me. Hopefully it all works out and I&#8217;ll see you at the zine fests!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since I made a post, so why not now I guess.
