hrjPeople on twitter are posting about their creative output in the last 10 years, and I'm going to do that too. But here's a version that also includes some life events to fill in the earlier part of the decade. The major event that happened just before the beginning of the 2010s was my mother dying, which colors all manner of things at that point.
2010: Several circumstances conspired to convince me to sell my triplex in Oakland and move to the suburbs. I began preparing for this toward the end of the year.
2011: I sold the Oakland house, moved to Concord, and bought my present house. I finally completed the first draft of Daughter of Mystery.
2012: Daughter of Mystery is accepted for publication by Bella Books.
2013: I'm sure something of significance happened this year.
2014: Daughter of Mystery is published. I self-publish "Three Nights at the Opera." I start the Lesbian Historic Motif Project blog on LiveJournal.
2015: "Hoywverch" is published by PodCastle. The Mystic Marriage is published. "Where My Heart Goes" is published in Through the Hourglass.
2016: I self-publish "The Mazarinette and the Musketeer". I start the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast. Mother of Souls is published. I enter a massive creative slump due to general anxiety both about the world in general and about the reception of my books in specific.
2017: "Hyddwen" is published by PodCastle.
2018: "Gifts Tell Truth" is published in Lace and Blade. I publish 4 audio stories as part of the LHMPodcast.
2019: Floodtide is published. I publish 5 audio stories as part of the LHMPodcast. (Or 6 if you count the audio release of "Where My Heart Goes".)
For a total of 6 years of history blog, 4 years of podcasting, entry into the field of audio fiction publishing, 4 novels, 4 short works sold to other publishers, 2 short works self-published.
Other stuff happened. I got a promotion at work. I started attending Worldcon as an every-year thing. I dropped out of the SCA. I began a long-term, long-distance dating relationship. I turned 60. You know, stuff.
