I started out 2026 with three intentions:
- Draw at least 100 flowers for The Ten Thousand Flowers Project,
- Perform a stand-up comedy routine in an actual comedy club,
- Revise Christophina’s Garden into publishable shape.
It’s four months into the year, and I’m way behind on flowers, but I do have an open mike performance scheduled on May 18th at Laughing Skull Lounge. As for Garden, well…
I started the year with the first book of the trilogy, Christophina’s Wings, out in the world for purchase. Then, as I’ve mentioned here, I pulled it back after two sales to revise it into a better book, and refine the entire trilogy at once.But I still had the Post-it note staring at me that had the word Garden in large and underlined letters. I’d set my course for the year to revise that book, and now I have a whole other book that needs revising first, and, and, and…
So I changed it.
I was never good with New Year’s resolutions, anyway.
