We're getting very close to the new year...do you have a resolution for 2019? If so, what is it?

Read more stuff by and about the founding fathers. Read more in general.

If that's the case, I would recommend reading John Adams by David McCullough. It's quite a tome, but it's a riveting account of the life and times of one of the less well-regarded founding fathers. HBO made a miniseries based on the book, too.

As of (*checks time) ten minutes ago, I have successfully completed my 2018 New Year's Resolution! I mentioned it in the last New-Years thread, and a few times on site and on Discord, but I've been writing a poem for every day of the year, and I just finished the 365th one for the year. I honestly didn't expect to keep it up for so long, but... well, I guess I managed it. Dreams really do come true. XD

So, for 2019, I'm going to try it up. Caveat: try be a little more consistent at writing a poem on each day, rather than writing seven-per-day to catch up, and trying to avoid low-effort "oh noes it's the middle of the night and I forgot to write something, let's play chicken with midnight" poems.

Also, I'll try and complete a long piece of writing. I'll settle for fanfic at this point, but having something completed will do wonders for my self confidence!

Sooooooooo, where's the thread? You wrote a poem a day but didn't think to start your own thread where you post your daily poems? How selfish. I'm disappointed in you.
