My goal in 2025 is to write more. Write again. Push myself to finish rewrites on "The Disruption." I need someone to regularly push me. Consider yourself part of my accountability team.

Today seems like a good day for a first post here:

Be kinder than you think you need to be to people who are angry and sad today.

Be stronger than you thought possible to keep on fighting for good.

Turn off media.
Turn to friends.

Keep fighting.
