In turn the three-day week is going to free me up to spend the other four days a week working on my own projects. I've had some ideas to generate some revenue from Gothic BC that don't involve slathering the site with ads or moving to subscription-only services - two things I long ago decided I was not going to do. I still have plans for a store that I'd like to see happen in early 2009. At the same time I'll be producing more fine art and getting it shown, which of course involves a whole raft of individual projects. I'm also considering the possibility of a couple of more ambitious projects that would take a decade or two to pull off.

This next year is going to be interesting.
