Man writes in a notebook. — In the coming weeks, I will adapt my brand and expand my author platform.

Changes are on the horizon

As the new year progresses, I'd like to take a moment to look into the future. For me, 2024 will bring some significant changes. Let's explore the exciting shifts on the horizon.

I take immense pride in what I’ve accomplished, but I don’t want to get complacent. Instead, I am eager to evolve as an author. To accomplish that, I have examined what defines me as an author and how I want to connect with my readers. Over the past months, I've been reevaluating my brand. I've come to the decision that it is time to refine the way I want my readers to experience me.

The initial changes are internal and somewhat involuntary, as I had to make adjustments to my email provider. They underwent an upgrade, which necessitated the migration of all my data from the classic to the new version. Admittedly, this was my oversight, as I received multiple emails regarding the update and even noted it on my to-do list, only to forget about it (I still don’t know where the note is, btw…).

In the coming weeks, I will adapt my brand and expand my author platform. Linked to the upcoming visual modifications is the imminent relaunch of my website. Currently, my programmers are addressing some programming intricacies. Once resolved, the next step involves migrating the rest of my articles to the new platform.

This relaunch also aligns with my goal of maximizing the website's utility. I plan to increase content output to between forty and fifty articles this year.

I'm eager to unveil a refreshed brand that better aligns with my vision and resonates with my readers. And I’m grateful for you being an integral part of this transformative phase! I’m looking forward to sharing more tales and stories with you in the future!
