A year ago to the week, I wrote about where I had been, what I'd been up to, and why my blogging had lost its consistency, committing to find it again through publishing a post weekly on Wednesdays. Since that final week of January 2022, I've only missed 10 of the total 52 weeks. That's a smidge less than 20% (19.2% for all you nerds out there) which I think is excellent news.

Rather, I will be graduating from the certificate program I have shared with you here, the written storytelling one at the Woodneath Story Center. Though I won't be in attendance (it's Shabbat), and though I still struggle with discussing my being a writer with others (even on this blog), I feel a sense of accomplishment that perhaps I need to give more attention to than I ...
