Happy New Year! So, my first resolution for 2026 is to get back to updating this blog! (Hey look, I did it.)
It’s been a while, reader. I really do apologize for the dearth of posts over the last year. I can tell you I was not sitting on my hands. In fact, from a professional standpoint, it was not a bad year at all!
As you may know, I am an author by night and weekend. By day, I am a journalist covering the intersection of tech and legal policy. Well, at the end of 2024, I was given the privilege of becoming the deputy managing editor of a new publication covering data privacy law, enforcement and compliance. We call it Privacy Daily, and we’ve had a whirlwind–and very rewarding–first year!
So here’s what happened: I focused all my 2025 energy getting the publication off the ground and doing everything I could to make it a success. It’s gone well! However, you might say all this effort came at the cost of my creative writing, which was already taking a hit due to the challenges (and rewards) of raising a small child. No regrets on any of this! It’s just the reality of being a 40-year-old.
However, this brings me to second resolution: Get back into creative writing in 2026!
While I can’t say things have slowed down on the journalistic front, I do feel a lot more calm and confident about Privacy Daily going into year two. I think we’ve really found our groove in terms of workflow, and there’s no shortage of privacy news to write about.
So, yeah! More creative writing in 2026!To tell you the truth, it’s not like I did nothing of this kind in 2025. Since publishing my last book Utopia PR, I have been brainstorming new ideas and writing possible beginnings to new novels. It’s probably too early to announce anything, but I can tell you that I started a project recently that feels relevant and, most importantly, exciting for me to write about.
So stay tuned and hopefully I will have more to say about that soon. I’d love to get back into at least monthly updates to this blog, so if you haven’t already, please subscribe using the form below or to the left.
