The End Of The Year Show

Hello from out here on the Thames Delta.

The next edition of Orbital Operations will be sent on 11 January 2026.

The end of the year is rushing up, my main whiteboard is packed, I have stuff to do in the house and in the garden and just a ridiculous amount of material to generate. And in all honesty it’s Friday night at 11pm and I feel like I’ve simply run out of things worth using up your time with for the year. So I’m checking out before I start running the risk of just typing things out to abuse your attention.

I already have plans for this newsletter for 2026, and we’ll see how many of them actually work out.

Here’s a thing I was sent, though!

These free PDF zines to print out at home look fun.

Now, at this link here, you can find all the notes I’ve made on books I’ve read this year. So if you’re still Xmas shopping, you might find something useful there. I only publish notes on books I liked, so there’s nothing in there I’d consider duff.

Did you know the original novel of METROPOLIS is set in the year 2026?

warrenellis.ltd , my digital writer’s notebook, will continue running during the newsletter’s break, and you’re invited to read over my shoulder. Add it to your RSS reader, put it on your phone’s home screen, stick it in your federated social media or just bookmark it to check in every day. I dump a lot of fun stuff there.

And that’s me done for 2025. Thanks for spending the year with me - I appreciate it more than you know. Be good to yourself, make time for yourself, live well and take care. See you in 2026.
