Let's assume, for a moment, that things work out, alright. I'm able to get the remaining 6 posts out of the way by tomorrow or the day after, and then the 12 hours worth of other work that needs to be done, and then somehow end up posting it on my website after doing the technical work, in the upcoming weekend. I have some plans for what's next, as I've divided the website work into v1, v2 and v3, and that's all the work required just for v1. So the next stage is to work on v2 and so forth. But like it's not absolutely necessary and I can also look around to see if anything else is worth exploring. I've already mentioned 2 march madness ideas: 10-posts a day writing practice, or a march novel. Jan was for completing project 140, february was for phoenix, what's another possibility for madness now?
Some other options besides the previous 2: getting some serious work out to be published in Nepali newspapers, and become a regular contributor or a columnist, successfully after 14 years of dreams and fantasy, long after the papers have lost their luster. But that will take me what, a few hours every week. There's the podcast plan next, to plan, record, edit and publish it, and every 20 minutes of published podcast time will likely take me 3 hours in the back-end to complete. But that's still 40 hours over the course of several months at least, so it's not the worst. If the podcast ends u going somewhere, thinking of churning out a few more episodes, maybe start another podcast on Hindu mythology finally, and possibly even turn the movie podcast into a move.
The ultimate goal here, for anyone not keeping score, is to leverage all of the material into a solid online presence, a premium personal brand, of the sort of person who probably makes three times as much as my current salary. And then use that branding and personal image to negotiate for such offers in the future. But that's quite far away right now.
