Happy New Year, my friends!
Can y’all believe that it’s 2020??? Because I know I can’t.
It was only last year that it was 2014, okay? I’m definitely still an awkward twelve-year-old who doesn’t wear any other color than black and who’s reading LotR for the umpteenth time.
Oh wait, I still am reading LotR for the umpteenth time.
Never mind.
At least I’ve graduated to wearing some grays and blues now. XP
As I thought over what I did this past year, it surprised me how little I actually did. X”D It felt like so much. Here’s a rough outline of some of the highlights of my 2019.
Trips Taken 2019: 7
Books Read in 2019: 81 (not counting children’s books or books I beta read for friends)
Movies Seen in the Theater in 2019: 6
Music Listened to in 2019:
Words Written in my WIPs in 2019: 55,039
Other Big Events of 2019:

Growing up is scary, man. But it’s worth it in the end.
Let’s have a toast to 2020, yeah? May there be much joy and
growth this year.
To 2020!
