2021 Update
These are the insane highlights covering all of 2021. For those that want things to get even better, MY SUBSCRIBESTAR is a great place to donate. This was the year that things got more visual, where I overcame much and hope to do even more next year.
Suil-Nua: Our Village of New Hope:
-
- This fiction work will be fleshed out even further, then I hope to begin self-publishing this work
- Many other fiction books are also in the pipeline too
- This fiction work will be fleshed out even further, then I hope to begin self-publishing this work
The Mango Encylopedia Book:
- Looking back, the Mango was only 30% done while still putting in massive amounts of content
- It needed contradictions smoothed out, cleaner sourcing of material, and polish
- The final edits will be a pain
- Includes adding clarifying content, tone improvement, and the family tree
- The final edits will be a pain
-
-
-
-
- That family tree needs to be significantly improved or scrapped entirely
-
-
-
- It needed contradictions smoothed out, cleaner sourcing of material, and polish
- Now the book is at least 90 done, but that final 10% will take a long time to get right
- It is possible to get all the edits done by this year and to get beta readers for this by this year
- Getting this book ready to publish is either this year or next year
- Not 3 years, either 1 or 2
- Getting this book ready to publish is either this year or next year
- It is possible to get all the edits done by this year and to get beta readers for this by this year
A Botanist’s Guide for Genesis:
- At the start of the year, I had a rough draft that covered 37 out of 50 chapters
- Now, the Book is finished and polished
- 100pgs of 36K words including the sources
- Beta Readers gave excellent discussion and advice on how to take it to the next level
- The edits did take longer than expected to put in
- It has been submitted to a publishing house and I will find out in around 5 weeks if they like it
- If yes I begin my public career of publishing
- If not, I try again with another publishing company
- Now, the Book is finished and polished
Stories:
- I personally feel as if I dropped the ball on this one
- I did not create enough, polish enough, peer review enough, publish enough, etc
- Now that I am leaning towards self-publishing for fiction I think I can change how I approach this for your benefit
- I did not create enough, polish enough, peer review enough, publish enough, etc
- I hope to complete and be ready to publish at least 4 stories or significant chunks of stories
- This means either telling a whole short story – novelette or covering an entire arc of a larger story
- With my youtube channel J Bart, I hope to also tell stories, combining truth with weaving tales and
Articles:
- While the start of the year was good the end was not so
- Some interesting articles did get written up
- Pulling the curtain back a bit I need to change the plan
- Trying to get articles published is a full-time job
- I can’t use traditional models in my life
- While I currently suck at making videos it would fit my articles better to be in youtube streams instead
- Scripting would certainly make for good articles posted on this website
- However, my audience is not searching for a random website but youtube and other places
- I can also expand on other platforms like bitchute, and rumble
- I also need to open up other avenues of monetization
- Patreon Account needs to be set up, and rewards systems need to be designed
- Trying to get articles published is a full-time job
- If everything goes well next year, I might be able to create a digital kingdom that is very helpful for everyone
- The article section will probably transform into the youtube tab
Non-Writing Achievements:
- I went from no employment this year to unstable employment this year
- Working in a lab, Teaching College as an Adjunct, Writing lesson plans for a contract company, and Organizing stamps are not easy to do on top of writing and everything else
- Strengthened the bonds of family and friends this year
- Always good
- I made a great personal budget for myself
- Financial stability will help me avoid stupid pains in the future
- I will have a lot more plant experiments in the future
- if things work out, they will even be a tax write off
- For sure, they will be part of a video series
