Reflecting on Week 01 of 2025

The first week of 2025 is always met with a flurry of action.

Even I can’t escape that hypnotizing effect. And it’s not like I even wanted to. I started my creative journey in earnest a little early, but that has made it easier to enter the new year with gusto.

2025 is the year that I indulge in the creative process, whatever that creative process is.

Wins This Week

The first week of 2025 has been great so far.

I wrote a lot

Though I didn’t exactly meet the word requirements for my writing every day, I did manage to still write.

Ultimately, that is the main goal. To write every day and make a habit out of it. And I would say I am achieving that.

Didn’t miss a day for 100 days of graphic design challenge

I haven’t missed a day posting a practice project for the 100-day challenge I decided to take on to expand my graphic design skills.

There is a lot that I am learning. And even when I don’t feel like creating anything I am creating something even if it’s crap. Again, practicing in public is not pretty.

But it’s effective.

I sketched every day

I have been practicing my drawing skills every day even if it is just for 15 minutes.

That’s a win from last week.

I’ve even picked up where I left off from the Drawing Basics I bought from Proko. So far it’s been challenging but fun. The plan is to stick to the lessons and continue to draw every day.

What To Work On

Despite the wins, there are still some areas I want to work on.

In particular, I really want to try to hit that 500 words a day goal. That is something that I want to work on for next week.
