Happy New Year's, all!

I am with a group of people who are going to be doing resolutions, as well as challenges and bucket list items. I am placing the list here first, as they are time-sensitive. The list will be expanded as new ideas emerge.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Lyons_Pen @timmckay52 That is a wonderful philosophy. It is completely honest while not telling them to their faces. They can feel they are of the chosen few while never asking to find out the truth.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JamesAllenMaxey Not if you incredible sales elsewhere. I know you want to have strong performers of all your works, but it sounds like that Friday, you crushed it. Great job!

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@mike_mollman Hope you do phenomenal sales!

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JoyBaglio That is amazing. The Pushcart Prize is one of great esteem. Congratulations on your win and hard work.

@Siennafrst Holy... That is one badass son to turn that down. Severe respect to doing ehat he wants.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Siennafrst I like that. Change things up and go after new audiences. Still post the highlights when people mention your book or updates on your family's successes, or just those great motivational tweets on the writing craft and perseverance.

@Siennafrst Speed it up to 1.5x and add slashing noises and it could come off as an epic battle.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JamesAllenMaxey Maybe people bought Bitterwood last year and came back this year to buy other titles. It would explain both.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JamesAllenMaxey An excellent display, though.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JamesAllenMaxey For one selling their own works, that is a good worry to have.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Siennafrst All my best. Do what you must to take care of yourself, your family, your business, and your overall well-being.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Lyons_Pen That is so wonderful. All the best to her.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JoeBerne1 One of my good friends only reads romances. She says she can't stand anything that does not have that element, but she loved my story (unpublished, no spice). I have people reading my works that say they hate the genre or MC, but still enjoy the book. I take such pride in that.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JoeBerne1 I have heard that argument and understand. Star Wars is a broad tale of knights and grand themes that small children can understand. Andor cannot be appreciated by most adults nowadays. Star Wars should be family friendly; Andor absolutely is not. In many aspects, it is art.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JoeBerne1 Andor explained the structure and financing for the resistance. As I got older, I wondered how the resistance had their own brand of ships if they were just a loose group of rebels. Who designed and built them? With what money? The same for rebuilding the Death Star so fast.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JoeBerne1 Under the same logic, the same could be said for sequels. A second book ij a series is a sequel; the first, being a prequel to that. If a story preceding another doesn't add anything to the latter, then I feel it failed. Andor is a perfect example.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Siennafrst @MatthewZorich Well, to be fair, if they are a good writer, they acknowledged you are as well. Also, that work may have been polished, but not as polished as Obsidian. Finally, you post a lot about how you still grow as a writer. Maybe you were not as good back then, but are far better today.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Siennafrst Congrats to her!

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@Siennafrst If it is in your own home or your business, why can't it be a message for all. For your family, each day, welcome home. For your customers in your business, it is like welcoming them to a family.

[Dachet Grival @DachetGrival]

@JamesAllenMaxey I feel most of the works would not do well as films, but could be done as a tv series. I would add most of Gene Wolfe's works and Song of Solomon.
