WE HAVE a lot of ideas to pursue in 2026, chiefly on the drawing board, but a few we hope to implement on our site. 2025 was challenging for us for a variety of reasons, but we survived, are still in the game. The present and future look to be challenging for everybody, but as they say, in crisis comes opportunity. In the literary game we see much crisis, many challenges, and a few opportunities.

Lined up as features for our site over the next two months are at least two terrific works from talented writers: one fiction, one poetry.

Our News of the Moment: the daughter of Tom Ray, a member of our Advisory Board, is making a movie based on a story of Tom’s we ran over a year ago, about AI insanity. Find out about it at our NPL News blog, here. See if you can support the project, or at least, help spread the word! Thanks.
