Somehow, another year has ended. The Dark Lord Char’Nagh swoops down onto the Earth to try to repair some of the damage we’ve done, but can even that impressive entity combat our stupidity?

Anyway, 2025 has not been my favourite year. It began with the worst depressive episode of my life, which lasted for months, and even once I got through that, I’ve not exactly climbed out of the hole. There’s just always a thing to make it harder. In my personal life and especially in the world at large, there’s just always something to make things harder.

I’d say the most important thing I did this year was finish The Demon of South Gloria, my set of wordsearch puzzles about fighting a demon. I am certain there is an audience for this, though I haven’t exactly struck them yet. I was hoping I’d find that project so successful that it’d make sense to do another set. It hasn’t really done so, but it still could. The reviews I’ve had on it have been nice anyway. So, I’m hoping to make a sequel in 2026 anyway. Two sets of puzzles have maybe twice as much chance of catching on, right? That’s what everybody says, right?
