New Year’s Resolutions: 2025 Edition
I’m kickstarting the new year with a whole new set of new year’s resolutions. As older viewers of this blog would know, back in the days, I used to make resolutions and report back on them. But, as my career started to come along, and I got busier (and let’s be honest, this is low key always the excuse with me), that just stopped. But I never stopped making resolutions. It’s all on my notion planner. I’ve always gotten into the habit of keeping both a digital and physical journal, and as repetitive as it probably is, for me, it’s been pretty helpful. As I take the next few days…

Mandatory New Year’s Blog Post (Which I TOTALLY Ignored Last Year)
Happy New Year, everyone! 🌟 Hope you all had a fantastic holiday! I certainly did! Especially, when I compare it with how 2024 started—with me feeling burnt out, anxious, and overwhelmed by a major delayed product launch. This year, I’m very well-rested. In fact, I even took New Year’s Day off today (yes, I know it’s a public holiday for most, but I’m one of those people who usually finds it hard to stop working).

In fact, I’ve been optimising my old blog posts and going wild on Pinterest. I’ll be posting a couple of blogs about that at some point here. Now, with that out of the way, this blog, as the title suggests, is a life update. For my new readers, I only do life updates when something big happens, and in the span of this blog’s lifetime, there has only ever been one other life update. That was about the first time I got published in a literary…

Lit Magazine Acceptance Incoming: I Got Published!
Before we move on to the rest of this blog, I just want to say: I got an acceptance from a lit magazine! Okay, now back up. For those of you who’ve been wondering, I’ve been missing for a couple of months. And it’s because work has been quite gruesome. Not because of anything I’ve done, but it has been interesting. Especially given the whole crypto situation. Fun fact: Not a good time to be in blockchain anything right now. For now, you have my sincerest apologies. Anyway, let’s move on to the topic at hand. I spent the last year submitting my short stories, nonfiction retellings and poems to…
