2018, Weeks 1–6: An update
It’s been a good year so far—here’s why.
It’s been a busy first few weeks of 2018: We hit the ground running at work, while at the home front, my partner and I have been working on a few side projects as well. Before we knew it, we’re already approaching mid-February! Time flies when you’re not looking.
Projects, a summary
Letters to the Last Girl 2.0
This year, I am trying to execute a regular, at least once-a-week writing routine, and I’m doing it via my newsletter. So far, so good: I’ve been releasing one newsletter every Sunday which usually contains highlights from the past week. I spend most of the week just listing down potential topics/ bookmarking interesting links/writing down notable quotes, and then I try to set aside 1–2 hours on Friday/Saturday for writing and production before queueing it up via MailChimp. It’s been working splendidly so far.
Quality Media Consumption
2018 has been a good year so far, in terms of media consumed:
- Greatest Showman
- Call Me By Your Name
- One Day At A Time
- Black Mirror Season 4
That said, I need to read more. What’s on everyone’s reading list these days? The last book I finished was Cal Newport’s “So Good They Can’t Ignore You” and I’m trying to finish Chris Guillebeau’s “Sidehustle School” (if you’re not listening to the podcast — you should be!)
Speaking of books.
Remember that ten-year-old love story I was rewriting last year? This one:
So I finished rewriting that and four other stories, and over the holidays my book designer-slash-partner also finished the book design for it, which brings us to this, today — (Available in paperback via Lulu and eBook format via Gumroad)
