As we segue into 2023 I thought it prudent to lay out my literary plans for this year; which after all can't really be worse than 2022 was- that alone is grounds for some optimism!
While I formerly decided to stop editing one-off works, I have decided to continue that work on brownout mode; while it is far more sensible to write some more of my own material and compile occult material for serious study, there are still a large number of worthy editions which warrant crafting- I am going to considerably slow my output of such works, however, as it does not make sense to hire an illustrator to illustrate a work if it can't be reasonably expected to at least break even regarding the investment of my time and money. I will be more choosy in my releases. I adore obscure receipt books for example, but I can't expect them to sell as many copies as, say, a grimoire, or a historical tract on the Freemasons.
I am working on several authored works currently also; one is comedic and involves various leftists and their warped fantasies about Donald Trump- this will be more for my political audience than for any serious literary purpose, but if it does half as well as "101 commie jokes" it is well worth the time.
I will also be making at least three more compiled works over the next year, and plan to both re-edit several of my past works and begin crafting a rigorous and fully academic history of herbal medicine. I envision it as a massive tome of lore with a huge bibliography, profuse notes, and a large explanatory foreword; where Fruits of Eden was mainly about the supernatural this work will be historical.
I may randomly meander into other topics as well. I have found it both fun and intriguing to make short booklets regarding cultural events (Critical Race Theory, for example, or Memetics) and there is no telling what such topics may arise during the year.
Onward!
