2021 Update

     These are the insane highlights covering all of 2021. For those that want things to get even better, MY SUBSCRIBESTAR is a great place to donate. This was the year that things got more visual, where I overcame much and hope to do even more next year.  

Suil-Nua: Our Village of New Hope:

• • This fiction work will be fleshed out even further, then I hope to begin self-publishing this work
    • Many other fiction books are also in the pipeline too 

The Mango Encylopedia Book:

• Looking back, the Mango was only 30% done while still putting in massive amounts of content 
  • It needed contradictions smoothed out, cleaner sourcing of material, and polish
    • The final edits will be a pain
      • Includes adding clarifying content, tone improvement, and the family tree
  • • • • • That family tree needs to be significantly improved or scrapped entirely 
• Now the book is at least 90 done, but that final 10% will take a long time to get right 
  • It is possible to get all the edits done by this year and to get beta readers for this by this year
    • Getting this book ready to publish is either this year or next year
      • Not 3 years, either 1 or 2 

A Botanist’s Guide for Genesis: 

• At the start of the year, I had a rough draft that covered 37 out of 50 chapters 
  • Now, the Book is finished and polished 
    • 100pgs of 36K words including the sources 
  • Beta Readers gave excellent discussion and advice on how to take it to the next level
    • The edits did take longer than expected to put in
  • It has been submitted to a publishing house  and I will find out in around 5 weeks if they like it
    • If yes I begin my public career of publishing 
    • If not, I try again with another publishing company  

Stories:

• I personally feel as if I dropped the ball on this one 
  • I did not create enough, polish enough, peer review enough, publish enough, etc
    • Now that I am leaning towards self-publishing for fiction I think I can change how I approach this for your benefit 
• I hope to complete and be ready to publish at least 4 stories or significant chunks of stories 
  • This means either telling a whole short story – novelette or covering an entire arc of a larger story 
• With my youtube channel J Bart, I hope to also tell stories, combining truth with weaving tales and 

Articles:

• While the start of the year was good the end was not so
  • Some interesting articles did get written up 
• Pulling the curtain back a bit I need to change the plan
  • Trying to get articles published is a full-time job 
    • I can’t use traditional models in my life  
  • While I currently suck at making videos it would fit my articles better to be in youtube streams instead
    • Scripting would certainly make for good articles posted on this website
  • However, my audience is not searching for a random website but youtube and other places 
    • I can also expand on other platforms like bitchute, and rumble 
  •  I also need to open up other avenues of monetization 
    • Patreon Account needs to be set up, and rewards systems need to be designed 
• If everything goes well next year, I might be able to create a digital kingdom that is very helpful for everyone 
  • The article section will probably transform into the youtube tab

Non-Writing Achievements: 

• I went from no employment this year to unstable employment this year
  • Working in a lab, Teaching College as an Adjunct, Writing lesson plans for a contract company, and Organizing stamps are not easy to do on top of writing and everything else 
• Strengthened the bonds of family and friends this year 
  • Always good 
• I made a great personal budget for myself 
  • Financial stability will help me avoid stupid pains in the future 
• I will have a lot more plant experiments in the future 
  • if things work out, they will even be a tax write off
  • For sure, they will be part of a video series
