December 2024: WorldEmber, Again!

How is it WorldEmber already?! Seems like it really snuck up on me this year, despite my active preparation for it (mostly because that was interrupted). In any case, it's here and I'm once again wondering how on Earth I'll be able to bang out 10000 words in... well, now much less than a month. Three weeks, if that. This on top of all the usual (and some unusual) stress of the season.

So here's my plan. I know, I know: the plan is always the first casualty. But at least I have a plan this year! (Sort of!) Rather than doing what I usually do, which is to knuckle down on a few huge and intensive articles to reach my word count, instead I already have a bunch of stub drafts that I can fairly easily turn into modestly sized articles. These drafts will also allow me a greater variety in subject matter, which I'm sure will be refreshing for the longtime readers. In between this I also hope to finish repairing the map pins, but we'll see if that works out. I'll also be using this article as a log of the articles I publish for Astra Planeta this month. Happy holidays and good luck, everybody!
