Two New Languages

I've not travelled for a few years now, but I'm making plans. I'm hopeful for 2022.

I've been learning two new languages: Latvian and Russian. I hope to travel through some of the former Soviet Republics, from the Baltic States to the Caucasus.

It's hard to find language learning materials for Latvian—so my language learning has been slower. For Russian, it's much easier to find language learning materials, but I'm not sure the language itself is easier.

I'm still at the level of learning new vocabulary and practising pronunciation. Speaking will come later.

Delays & Movement

I plan to release my next novel early next year. I had hoped to release it this year, and some readers like it as it is, but I won't release it until I feel it's ready. Not perfectionism, I just want it to be as good as it can be. But I don't want polishing a novel to stop me writing a new one, so I'm participating in NaNoWriMo again this year. 12,000 words into that so far. You can follow my progress on FB.
