I like that you've made changes and embraced them, but also stuck to a schedule. Those were the same two things that really brought out my best creativity. I'm really going to look forward to Mondays (if there can be such a thing) for your stories. I'm glad we connected this year and I look forward to more of Along the Hudson in 2023!
I know I'm late to this post Justin but I wanted to tell you I've enjoyed reading your work. I haven't been able to jump in to any of the Fifties by the Fire lately because of work but I'll try to participate more in 2023.
Beautiful photo of the Hudson, and I like what you said about deadlines. I found placing deadlines to be so useful in overcoming my doubts. I think I could tinker forever, but sometimes you have to just get it out. I'm interested: looking back over the year, do you think there were certain themes or topics you kept coming back to?
I changed the name of my newsletter for the same reason. The old name (Monday Morning Mark) was too restrictive. It became a section on my newsletter. Why tie yourself down to one thing? Allow your creativity to do what it wants. That is when it shines.
I hate deadlines. 🤣 I do not write well to a deadline. I am far more creative when I want to write. Fortunately, I have hundreds of stories in a backlog, which allows me to schedule my newsletter far in advance (I am working on April) and take any deadline pressure off.
Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you, Justin! So glad I happened upon your page and all the wonderful stories and comments here. I've really been enjoying reading. Here's to a wonderful 2023!
This was a wonderful way to start my day, Justin. I wasn't able to vote in your poll (my app version does not support), but yes! Interested interested interested in whatever you come up with for prompts. Happy holidays. See you around the fire next month. 😊

Cheers! Thanks for the inspiration and writing prompts/challenges this past year 🌲
Happy New Year, Justin! Thank you for being a part of my personal Inspiration Team over the years.
I'm excited to see what will be new for you in 2023!
RE inspiring others to write--it's the teacher in you, I'd bet. The community you created at Friday Fix on Medium was a great example.
