jon_chaissonHere we are, last day of 2025. It's been an interesting year to say the least.
Not only did we move to new digs, we now own it, a fact that is still blowing my mind. I hit some rocky points in the Day Job but I'm still there and still managing to remain in control of the situation. I've rereleased a new edition of my first novel. I've made major leaps in my current project Theadia. The current administration still aggravates the fuck out of me, but I'm learning to react accordingly instead of spiraling. All in all, the pluses definitely outweigh the minuses.
I do of course have things planned for next year. I'm thinking Theadia will drop sometime in the latter half of the year. I'm going to start working on the remaster for The Persistence of Memories as well. And speaking of things creative, I've been wanting to revive my love for art and music creativity for years now, and I think I finally have the time and the spoons (and the tools) to do it. As I've mentioned earlier in my writing blog, it's all about the approach: do it because I enjoy it. That's all. No endgame, no sellable goal.
On a more personal level, I do plan on getting in better shape. I am in better shape compared to before I started at the shop, but there's still room for improvement, especially considering I'm getting older. Get more stretches in. Better posture. Go for walks on my days off. And of course, make it a point to start getting yearly checkups! I don't plan on being sedentary anytime soon and this will of course help.
On that note, I hope everyone has a creative and positive 2026!
