“once I decide to do something, I want to see it through.” I am very much like you – I used to proudly proclaim “I am not a quitter”, but I have in recent years found some freedom in letting things go that no longer serve me (it’s been a process).
I’ve never done NaNoWriMo, because well, I am not a novel writer, but I’ve been doing the blog version “NaBloPoMo” ever since its heydays (back in 2006)… so, you count how many years that is. It’s a great little exercise that I can commit to once a year 🙂

I love the energy of Nanowrimo so much, but I just can’t think of an hour’s worth of stuff I’m willing to not do the make room for it (I take the quantity-not-quality ethos more to heart, I think, which makes it faster). So I’m going to start a project and write with the Nanowrimo spirit but without the goal… at the end of the month, I’ll have some number of new words, I’ll have read one or two fewer books than I would have, and I’ll have gotten to engage in an event that feels as much a part of the month as thanksgiving.

I’m going to read Les Mis one chapter at a time – inspired by an earlier post/comments.
I did a deep Sondheim dive this year and feel as though I’ve barely scratched the surface. Way too much to mine/read/watch/hear. So it continues next year.

In reply to Lisa of Lisa's Yarns. Oh that’s a lovely idea Lisa. I am sufficiently extroverted that I could definitely aim for three social events a week, but I’d likely have to get creative on my wfh weeks. I weirdly have way more social interaction in work city than home city, I think because we moved during the pandemic and use wraparound care so don’t meet folks at the school gate.

@Pankti – thanks! I enjoy writing here and can’t see changing the blog much from what it is 🙂
