2026 Resolution
Agency
In the spirit of my 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 resolutions:
Resolution
I have a singular quest this year: Get a literary agent for me and my novel.
This is famously hard and largely out of my control, which makes for an exciting goal. My quests are often execution-based: Success has often been entirely in my control and just requires that I put in a lot of work. This one requires creativity to find out what really is within my control.
I put some effort into this in 2025. This year, I want to give it my all. That’s fun! It will require lots of luck, and I’ll forgive myself if I fail, but I plan to be relentless about this. This includes:
Querying oodles of agents
Attending conferences
Applying for workshops
Getting more stories published
Whatever it takes!
If you happen to be a literary agent reading this, email me and make my life!
Other plans for the year
Get fit with my wife.
Keep releasing killer music with Peter Sanfilippo.
Write better and better stories. A second novel is churning in my head.
You
I hope you have a year of adventure. I hope you end this year a happier, kinder, and stronger person than you are today. I hope you make wonderful memories. If we cross paths in the world, I hope you say hi.
