New Focus For Q4 2026 / Happenings In The Outhouse 02-Oct-2026

The last three months have been a smashing success, in my opinion.  Two novels completed, and at least three more short stories done and published in the last week.  It's mind boggling, to say the least.

In fact, when I look over the year so far, I have published . . . drum roll please . . . 4 novels!  And that doesn't include quite a number of short stories published too.

But wait, there's more!  There are still 3 more months left to go in 2026!

Normally, at the end of each quarter, I sit down and write down my next five things for the next quarter.  These are the five things I want to accomplish.

Not this time.  This time, for the last three months of 2026, I have a whole lot more on my list!  There are a lot of little things I want to accomplish, to set myself for success starting in 2027 and beyond.

As a side note, I'd like to share this with you.  For the past several months, I have brought my writing to my work with me.  My wife and I ride together three days a week (I work at home the other two days).  Since she starts much earlier than me, I get to work at least 90 minutes early.  Prior to the start of my shift, I sit in this little desk in what our company calls a collaboration area.  It's relatively quiet, and I am able to get a lot done before I start work.  Pretty cute, isn't it?
