this video is coming out a bit later than expected but! better late than never! today, let's chat a bit about how writing went for me in 2024, what i've learned about writing in the process, and what i'm going to be writing in 2025.
also, since filming this video, my third short story has officially been published!
you can read my near-future cli-fi piece, "We Cast Our Eyes to the Unknowable Now" on Grist for free here: https://grist.org/climate-fiction/imagine2200-we-cast-our-eyes-to-the-unknowable-now/
