It has been a  wretched year politically, and not so hot when it comes to health, career, and the writing front. I didn’t get much out there, though I seem to be averaging about four stories a year–a pittance compared to what I see others doing. But those publications I made it into were of such quality I’m very pleased to have been a part of them. Quantity over quality. At least that’s what I keep telling myself!

I was typing up a list of names to thank, but it became too extensive and I fear I’d leave someone out. So suffice it to say those I have in mind are probably aware I have them in mind, and if not, life is that much more interesting with ambiguity. So a big thank you to those who made 2016 better than it had any right to be!
