Thanks for sharing this! I really liked your point that even when you weren't working on your specific projects, you were still writing in some form. The mental and motor processes were still happening. Also, I often feel guilty when I am thinking too much - of ideas, of characters - and not actually writing, and then console myself that thinking is part of writing, and that to truly understand what you're thinking, you need to write. That they go hand in hand... At least that's what I tell myself lying in bed at 1am thinking about first or third person 😅

Summer - thanks sharing your success and failure through last year's project. Reflecting on what went well and what didn't are important components of a well lived life. It sounds like at the end of the day the project was a success even if it didn't complete your stated goal.

I also felt like you were describing me in your opening paragraph about January. It is one of my favorite months and I love the early morning darkness with my coffee and my thoughts. Best of luck in the new endeavors.
