It&#8217;s based on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/thoms-practical-rules-for-the-camino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camino Rules<\/a>, and I&#8217;m super excited about finally finishing this and getting it out. As always, the last pages are the most challenging. Why? Because I left them for last for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a look at the first page, and I&#8217;ve spotted yet another typo. So it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"850\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-16-at-14.12.31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-16-at-14.12.31.png 771w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-16-at-14.12.31-272x300.png 272w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-16-at-14.12.31-136x150.png 136w, https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-16-at-14.12.31-768x847.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once this is done, I&#8217;ll finish up another small book, this time of Camino poetry. That&#8217;s done, more or less, other than two or three sonnetinas that need cleaning up. Then there&#8217;s the layout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, I&#8217;m considering three other projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a travelogue based on my journals from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/about-our-caminos\/route-vp-cf-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Long Camino<\/a>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an expansion of my article here on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/cultivating-pilgrim-spirituality\/\">Camino spirituality<\/a>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a long-contemplated novel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first two may be plausibly combined.
