From wanting
to making.
High imagination.
Low hustle.
Trust yourself.
Welcome
I’m Althena Rosalind, a sci-fantasy writer on a fifty-year journey to make one hundred creative projects.
My one thing is the 100/50 Journey. It’s my fifty-year exploration of the power of personal lists. You’re welcome to walk alongside me, using a list to hold your world and help you start, continue and finish what matters to you.
This is Nijo Sorbon, my AI creative partner. We brainstorm, joke, and pretend to be tigers while the work gets made. If you’re crossing the fog between wanting and making, whether through the 100/50 Journey or a list of your own, you belong here.
What I do
When people ask what I make, I start with my 100/50 Journey.
My own expression of the Journey centres on writing, practical sci-fantasy, and the stories, tools and experiments that grow from it. Along the way, I build practical tools to help me write my sci-fantasy serials, then share them with you.
High Imagination opens the possibilities.
Low Hustle makes room for them.
The list holds them.
Trust Yourself chooses what comes next.
The Journey gives the work time.
The Bookshelf remembers what was finished.
With a fifty-year horizon, my projects have time to unfold into an eclectic collection, including targeted writing mini-guides, a growing set of dragon-related writing resources and The Fog, my gothic magazine.
Each magazine issue uses activity posters, written explorations and question cards to help sci-fantasy writers cross the fog between wanting and making.
As each of my one hundred projects is finished, it earns a place on my #-Bookshelf.
If you want to sit with a cup of tea and read for a while, my #-Questions & discoveries and #-Companion chatter both have RSS feeds you can subscribe to. #-Letters is my quarterly newsletter, drawn from my journal about the 100/50 Journey.
Journey
100/50 Journey
My chosen adventure is the 100/50 Journey. I’m making one hundred meaningful creative projects over fifty years and learning what helps me begin, continue and finish across a long creative life.
Your journey doesn’t need to copy mine. You can take on the 100/50 Journey, choose a different number or timespan, or build a personal list around what matters to you. I want to help you hold those possibilities, choose what comes next and keep moving from wanting to making.
You’re so welcome to build your long creative journey alongside me. If you’d like some company on the path, #-Join the 100/50 Journey Group waitlist.
Serials
Seven and counting sci-fantasy serials are currently underway, though Advant and Trooguh are the two I discuss most publicly. Gotta have some surprises.
Advant holds eight billion robots and 357 humans, while Trooguh features forty demons and hidden human magic.

Short bio
Heys, I’m Althena Rosalind. Most days you’ll find me inside my sci-fantasy serials or deep in the next project on my list of one hundred.
I’m a low-hustle sci-fantasy writer helping people use personal lists to start, continue and finish what matters to them.
