Looking Back At The Year That Was
A collection of things I’m proud of from an otherwise horrible year, plus a look at what’s to come
Seventeen days in 2020, my wife and I were in a car accident. So, you can say this year was a dumpster fire from the get-go. While the incident did land me in the hospital, the year wasn’t a total waste. I mean, I did unexpectedly appear in the Pete Souza documentary, The Way I See It.
As Danny Forest explains, everyone should do a year-end review, even if the year sucked. Taking his advice, here are a few things I’m incredibly proud of from 2020:
Various Stories
While I wrote several unique stories in 2020, a few stand out. I shared my choice for growth over fear with P.S. I Love You and some friendly advice from Ferris Bueller. For The Startup, I reviewed the new M1 Mac mini. In The Writing Cooperative, I doubled-down on investing in yourself, unlocking creativity, and winning the day.
Write Now
This year I published 37 new Write Now interviews. These include a Marvel writer (Charles Soule), a PEN/Open Book Award Winner (Faith Adiele), a mother-daughter duo (Lan Cao and Margaret Van Cao), and a YA author and literary agent (Eric Smith).
