New Focus for 2026 and Beyond / Happenings In The Outhouse 03-April-2026

For the past few years, my focus has been on improving the craft of writing and publishing stories that I had already been written.  As you can tell from the last several months' worth of blog posts, I have done just that.

But what does the future bring to my writing?

One word: business.

I will be turning my focus of my writing toward the business side of publishing.  Learning more about copyright, contracts, trademark, and a whole host of other topics surrounding the business side.  I will continue to strive for improvement in the craft (I will always continue to push myself in that regard) but will be added the element from the business side now too.
