XXIII: Becoming More Forgetful

Lately, I have been more forgetful, and I hate it.

Let me list all the things I (almost) forgot this week.

XVIII: Full Circle II (The Diary’s 2nd Anniversary)

2 years ago yesterday, I published my first post here on The Diary. And looking back at those 2 years… oh, man, I have been through a lot.

In my first year of blogging on The Diary, I promised myself to publish 13 posts per month and I will blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thankfully, I reached my post goals and schedule mainly because of my Minute Warning series (where I write anything under time pressure under 10 to 30 minutes). And if I were to publish a longer post, I have a writing process that works. You can check my first-year retrospective on this post.

And today, in my second year of blogging at The Diary, I’m looking back and checking if my writing processes still work and if my blogging schedule still serves me well.

XII: The Deranged Writer’s Love Life (Recently)

Today, February 14, is St. Valentine’s Day. In celebration of a day full of love and romance, I would like to talk about something I rarely talk about here on The Diary: my love life.

Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.
