Major Writing Projects

I intended to launch one of two projects in 2024 but they had to go on the backburner for life this year. I'd love to launch them in 2025, but I'll be happy with 2026.

Minor Writing Projects

When I'm in a slump or need to do something a lil different, Tarantellia has several minor writing projects including, but not limited to: Acquisition Organizations on the Claw Continent, the Fungi Coven, and Story Leaves.

If none of that is working for me, I have other worlds to lean on: Project Trashheap (Tarantellia's futuristic solar punk setting), Ninphelon (Fae World Plane in Tarantellia's Universe), Alchemistra (Steampunk adjacent setting, also another Plane in the Universe), The Ineffable Amalgamation of Galaxies and Souls (Said Universe housing all of these planes and timelines).

If I need to completely detach, I have a world for meditations in fantasy settings. Name TBD. Pending Name: Pockets of Sheristal. Most of my notes for that world are handwritten, although the world was created on WA a while ago.

Then, there's the novels that I've been playing with on the backburner... And the crafting... I might need to hone my focus a little bit. 2025 gets to be a year of dreaming, planning, and settling back into writing. It's been enough of a dumpster fire as it stands.

Article Ideas

I have over 50 ideas ready to go when there's time. Might be time to roll dice and make it go. I'm thinking about having an idea bowl or a dedicated notebook.
