Some big changes are happening around here.
I’m going back to work.
That’s right. A real job like a real grownup.
An opportunity presented itself that I couldn’t turn down, so I’ll be going back to a day job for the first time in almost a decade.
But what does that mean for all this stuff?
When I started chasing the writing dream, I referred to myself as a writer by night. So Here we go again.
Books
I hope that it will mean more books. It’s a big part of why I took the job. My output has slowed in the last couple of years. I look forward to changing that. With steady work, I can worry less about marketing, promotions and everything else that’s not writing and focus on actually writing. I’m halfway through Duck and Cover Book 6 and loving it. And I’ve got several other things outlined. For the first time in a while, I should be able to focus on making books instead of selling them.
Streaming
Sadly, another change is that A Billion Bad Ideas is ending. I’ll miss chatting with the guys each week. But I do plan to keep streaming on Twitch with something called Writer by Night. I’ll be streaming these writing sessions a few nights a week. I also set some time aside in each stream to answer questions.
I’m also planning on having guests on from time to time. Clayton and Luna could turn up, and I want to make sure other writers get to play. If you want on, email me and let me know.

Cons
We’re not sure what this all means for our con schedule yet. We are planning on doing FanExpo in Dallas again next year. And I’m planning on being at Pensacon, DragonCon, Salt Lake and some others with Bard’s Tower. As far as the rest, we’ll have to see what falls into place.
Thank you all for all of your support over the years. The fun isn’t over yet. It’s just going to happen a little later in the day.
Roads are never straight, and never follow their expected trajectory, unless you’ve traversed them before. This road is critical and necessary to your development, while also giving your direction a bit of movement. I’ve loved ABBI and all the time I’ve been able to interact with you, your page, and your guests. I also can’t wait to read what you gain from your future experiences. Your writing has, and continues to be amazing, along with your Twitch channel. May this change be a springboard forward to everything you ever wanted.
Just reread Dad’s Vs and wanted to see what was going on with one of my favorite authors. I’m assuming this post explains where you still are.
Hoping for more books from you but glad I know what’s going on.
