I love the year end recap, thank you for sharing! Such a useful reminder about how easy it is to emphasize what we didn’t do over what we did. I generally track input/output in my paper journals, which makes it harder to do a year at a glance...tempted to try digital for next year
Love all of this, and can't wait for your novel. Huge congratulations on a year sober. And "The Optimal Life Can Be Yours" cracked me up -- I had so many conversations when I worked at a big law firm where men would inform me about their secret life hack of having a wife who took care of every non-work aspect of their life. Anything resembling "deep work" and C*l N*wport drive me crazy for the same reason. I have not done a roundup like this yet, but I always find it useful at the end of the year -- you're reminding me I should do it!
exciting news about being out on submission !
"Pretty much completed another book proposal and promptly lost interest in the topic" is so damn relatable

I liked 'Tender is the Flesh' but didn't find it groundbreaking. Have you read 'My Murder' by Katie Williams? I'm enjoying it.
So cool, Caitlin. Thanks for sharing. It makes me want to take stock myself!
So proud of you, Caitlin! And how wonderful to take stock and see how much you actually accomplished. <3

Write a roundup of what you've accomplished this year. I'm on it. Great idea.
Also, I loved Tender is the Flesh! Have you read Mother For Dinner by Shalom Auslander?
I'm so glad you're on the mend and I realllly appreciate your sharing xo
