After being very busy publishing five stories in December, accomplishing a lot of my 2025 writing goals, I haven't since been writing at all (although I'm about to restart work on my MF story Sloe Ride). Instead of writing, I have been thinking about where I want to go from here. For some time I've had a good idea of what I want to get done in time for Pride Month, but beyond that, what are my writing goals for the coming year?
One thing on my mind is how MM fiction is having such a cultural moment and (largely female) audience, So far, I have overwhelmingly written about male bisexuality, and have developed an enthusiastic male following on Lush - but I've also learned how the subject matter does NOT appeal to very many women. I think it will soon be time for me to broaden my base. Based on what I've learned appeals to the MM-enthusiast community, I think I could do a really good job of it.
My other major pondering has been about achieving Prolific and then Omnium. I'm well past the halfway point at 40 genres now, and I think I can achieve Prolific by the end of this year and Omnium by the end of 2027. More specifically I've been thinking about how to eventually take on the Novels genre, and this has finally intersected with my MM-fiction thoughts in a couple of juicy new ideas for story arcs suitable for novel, or at least novella, length.
No, they will not be about hockey.
