The holiday week has been a blur, and as a result I didn't get this posted on Monday, but it's been very much on my mind.
This year has seen a lot of changes. Last year I lost my last freelance client when the platform I was writing for started paying late; I demanded payment and got paid, but that was the end of my relationship with them. At the time I was feeling very burnt out on freelancing, so I took it as a sign to spend some time on my own projects.
Ever since, I have been focusing on two main things: working on my doll business, and working on writing projects that I hope to eventually self-publish. Splitting my attention between the two has perhaps meant that not as much got done on either, though. And I feel like I haven't been taking either goal as seriously as I should have been.
Then Izzy got sick, and that was all I could think about.
Now that Izzy is gone and I have more time to work, I've been thinking about what I want to spend that time on. And I realized I want to be more focused on both goals than I have been, but especially on the goal of publishing my work.
This will be the last weekly post of 2024, even though there's still another partial week left. I feel like it's been a boring year of posts, but at the same time, it has helped me more than I expected. Now, at the end of the year, I'm realizing how much I get dragged into the minutia of every week. In 2025, I want to be more focused on the big picture.
More on that to come!
