The delightful end of 2021!
Good evening!
What a fucking year it's been.
I've been unbelievably happy with some of the work I've been doing this year, and I've been so so happy along the way to get to work on such a variety of projects since I went full-time as an author in February, which I've been able to do purely because of the support of readers - whether that means buying my books, supporting me on Patreon or Medium, or just sending me a Ko-Fi when you can, thank you! You let me make my living doing what I love and what, it seems, you love too, and I'm unbelievably grateful and feel tremendously privileged to be able to do so!
In the new year you can look forward to some short story collections of some of my favourite stories from 2021, which I'm hoping to make a regular annual release; I've got a great many projects to work on, and as well as continuing to work on my shorts and my essays and my serials, I'm also gonna be trying to do a bit more script work, which I'm looking forward to!
I've got my ordinary little summary of new works published, and then I'm going to put together a top 10 list of some of my favourite shorts from this year in case you missed them!
This is going to be the last email I send out this year - I'll undoubtedly still be putting out some works over the next few weeks here and there, but I'm going to be taking it easy and try to take a bit of time off.
Thank you so so much, once again, for all your support! If you're celebrating any holidays over the next few weeks, I hope you enjoy them and have as restful a time as possible.
