Happy (Almost) New Year!

As I don't typically create year-end resolutions, I find myself making a writing-themed resolution this year-end.

Almost immediately after I revamped my Substack this past September, I changed my writing strategy and goals. Instead of posting edited, but not yet finished, drafts weekly, I posted edited, but not yet finished, drafts weakly; that is to say, three times since September.
”What happened?” you may have asked. “Did Kevin give up on writing…again?” could have been a valid follow-up.
Nothing happened, and no, I have not given up on writing. In fact, I’m writing more, the fast and shitty way. No edits, just words. My new goal is still to complete a rough draft of my collection of essays in 2026; however, instead of polishing various essays to post on my Substack, I am gathering unedited essays to work on during my four-week writing retreat in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye, from mid-February to mid-March. I plan to have a rough draft of the book sorted out and at least mildly edited by mid-March. I felt that polishing essays for weekly Substack posts would get in the way of the newly tweaked original goal.

Thanks for your patience as I change course a bit. I'm looking forward to sharing more on this site and will do so in the early part of 2026, maybe even while on Skye. Stay tuned…if you want.

Happy New Year!
