Like the post title says. The gallery page for Compline is finally up and running, and it's actually a more serious page than the ones before it. All right, call it a very earnest page.There aren't any music videos included, alas alack, but I do get into enough detail about what I took from the original folktale and how it was worked into my version of it.
It was really tempting to reveal way more about the book, but I managed to hold back. You'll just have to wait till the book comes out on July 1 to see what it's all about. :D
In other news, I did flirt a little with the idea of possibly diving into gothic horror zines as a future project, but there are too many restrictions I'm already facing (time and physical space being the primary ones), so I'll settle for being a happy supporter of zines I can get my hands on. I've already purchased a couple from Etsy, and I love them -- especially the whole DIY nature of these booklets. Democracy in publishing, yeah!
As for me, looking into the future (past 2026, I mean), I am going to continue writing and publishing the stories I'm known for.
The difference between now and the future is the output, i.e., the calendar will be reduced from three books to two per year. For good reason, y'all. While I'm easing my way to retirement from writing and publishing (not any time soon, judging from my recent time spent in introspection and the resurgent inspiration and determination that came from it), I'll just be balancing my time and will be engaging in more relaxed activities for myself away from the computer.
I did say I'm one of the growing numbers who're moving back to analog -- as a Gen Xer, I'm more than comfortable with that as it was the world I was born into, and if I could, I'd ditch my phone and just limit online stuff to my desktop. But I need it for work. Anyway, I'm looking more and more into activities I can do in solitude that will help me find balance again (not to mention enjoy life like I did in my younger years).
As a fun aside, I'm hoping to pick up my crochet hooks again and this time actually complete a sweater project.
