Feels good to mark this Weekly Wrap with 2021, not going to lie! I don’t think I realized until now how much I was really looking forward to doing that. But it’s here, and with it come some updates, as ever! Join me on this first step into the new year, will you?
Oh, thank goodness, it’s over. 2020 is behind us, and even if the barrier between years is just an arbitrary chunk of time, I’m still ready to have it in the rearview mirror. And to make it official, let’s dig into the December 2020 Monthly Wrap! 😳
We did it! We made it to Christmas! And this week’s Weekly Wrap is brought to you by an inordinate amount of Christmas treats and some delightful gift choices.
Last week’s radio silence has led to this week’s Double Weekly Wrap! Such is the nature of the holidays, to be honest. Why post every week when you can lose all sense of time and roll up every other week?
I’m not entirely sure when it became December (though my calendar says that happened five days ago), but I suppose it is time for a Weekly Wrap regardless! At the moment, I’m in holiday prep up to my eyeballs, so you’ll forgive me if I keep this short and sweet. There are presents to be wrapped and last minute crafts to be completed. It’s a busy life!
And sometimes you kind of trip and fall backwards over it, still finishing the race. NaNoWriMo 2020 has come to a close, and somehow, I made it to the end. Was it a graceful finish? Maybe not, but I have 50k shiny new words and a renewed sense of enjoyment in my writing. What could be better than that?
(The answer is a detailed wrap. Trust me. And also read on, if you really trust me.)
I’m finding it hard to believe that it’s the end of November 2020, and at the same time? I just did NaNoWriMo, so my sense of time is all kinds of skewed. I know only word counts and deadlines, and nothing else.
Okay, maybe I know more than that. But it’s mostly what already happened. The future is a big ball of mystery still, mostly because I can’t really see where anything is headed more than a couple hours in advance. My planning abilities are just plain pooped, folks. Just all tuckered out. Oof.
I try to make each Weekly Wrap stand out, I really do. But sometimes, especially around holidays, it just has to be a little of the same old, same old.
You know, like me planning to do things, and then diving headfirst into a video game without coming up for air!
It’s hard to believe we’re three full weeks into November, but I suppose the Weekly Wrap is good at reminding us how the time tends to pass. It’s also good for recapping all the things I manage to do with my time.
Even if I ultimately do very little.
I’m pretty sure the last Weekly Wrap was a million years ago, but that’s probably the stress talking. Especially since the anxiety says the last Weekly Wrap was basically yesterday.
But I’ve also never been especially good at keeping a handle on the days gone by. At least, not without some thorough review, which is the entire point of today’s post!
