Goals for 2024
- Writing: I was hoping to complete a children’s book draft and to publish and release a Bible study book.
- Reading: read a total of 52 books
How did I do?
- Writing: I did quite a bit of writing this past year. I published the book on 1 John and finished the draft of the children’s book.
- Reading: I exceeded my reading goal this year: I read 104 books!
Goals for 2025
- Writing: I have three writing projects in the works for 2025.
Project 1: A children’s book on Harold and Heather. I have talked a bit about this project before, but in August, I was finally able to finish my first draft of the story. I’m still working on finding an illustrator. My hope is that some of these details will come together in the next couple of months.
Project 2: A German-to-English theology translation project. Well, the first of two German-to-English translation projects. I recently translated a small portion of Philip Melanchthon’s works from German to English. I will be publishing my translation work in serial form on my blog in 2025 and then compile it into a short book that will be available on Kindle.
Project 3: A second German-to-English theology translation project! I’ve recently started translating Johannes Tauler’s sermons from German into English. I will start posting my translations on my blog in 2025 (after I finish the posts on Melanchthon). My current aim is to post one sermon a month. My end goal is eventually to compile all of them into a book as well. More details on that down the road.
- Reading: My plan is to read a total of 52 books this year. This was my goal for 2024, and I like it as a goal for 2025.
How about you? Any reading or writing goals for 2025?
