A Musical Endeavor . Runner-Up in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
To be honest, I was a bit daunted by the idea of writing a thousand words to meet the word count required for the "New Year, New Projects" Vocal Challenge. I felt that I could describe my commitment in quite a concise paragraph, and wasn't sure how I would wax eloquent on the subject much more than that. I considered opening this piece with a long, detailed backstory about musical lessons and influences throughout my childhood...but the thought started to give me a headache, and I wouldn't wish those unwarranted details on any reader. So if you're pressed for time, or if your attention span has been fatally wounded by technology, feel free to blaze through this synopsis:

The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Apologies for the last minute entry to this challenge. I didn’t think it was for me. I am not great at making New Years Resolutions and I blame the foggy mist of a Greater Manchester January. It is probably the wrong setting to attempt fresh thinking. I am back from a drizzle-laden walk and my hair has frizzed and I feel bedraggled. The snow has disappeared and there is black ice in the parks, so I had to stick to main roads that were slightly too noisy to catch everything my air pods were trying to tell me. The pavements were wet and uneven. I was walking against a small tide of commuters, all with their heads down. Nobody used an umbrella against the dampness in the air that couldn’t quite be called rain.

A New Chapter: My 2025 Writing Journey
They say everyone has at least one book inside them. Have you ever wondered if yours is a page-turner or just a 300-page apology letter to yourself for procrastinating? As I stand at the doorstep of 2025, I’m determined to find out. This is the year I’ll finally stop talking about writing a book and actually write it—while launching a blog series to document the chaos. Ambitious? Perhaps. But what’s a resolution without a healthy dose of delusion?

Digital Norman’s Journey
2025 marks the year I fully commit to mastering the digital space, not just for personal success but to create a foundation that supports others on a similar path. Like many others, I’ve faced the challenges of losing everything—be it through natural disasters, political games, or life’s unpredictable twists. Those moments taught me one thing: the power of rebuilding starts from within, and with the right tools, it’s entirely possible to rise higher than ever before.

My New Year’s Resolution for a 2025 Creative Project. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
It was a chilly New Year’s morning when I sat by my window, gazing at the frost-laced world outside. The streets were quiet, as if time itself had taken a pause to reflect on the year gone by. A steaming cup of coffee warmed my hands, and despite the cold, I felt a spark of excitement building inside me. This year, 2025, would be different. I had made countless resolutions in the past—promises to eat healthier, exercise regularly, and break bad habits—but none had ever ignited my soul like the one I was about to make.

Through The Eye Of My iPhone. Honorable Mention in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
For the last year I genuinely had been in a writing slump, and it gets really discouraging when you don't feel like you can open up your laptop. For me it's been either all or nothing. Personally I can crank out a essay super fast, because writing for me has always come naturally. In fact in high school, one of our English class options we could do was creative writing in lieu of a normal English Lit class.

Still Standing
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. There are two reasons why I don’t. The first one is that the very centre of winter is no time to start important long-term projects. It’s dark, it’s cold, and the only sensible way of dealing with these facts is to wrap myself in yet another blanket while sipping hot tea. The only sensible reason to slip out my hand from under that blanket is to turn the page in the book I’m reading. Important new projects can wait until spring.

Making it Hard to Fail
My project for the new year is not a creative 'project' persay so much as it is a psychological experiment on myself. The Quest for Imperfection, maybe. The Year of Compounding Small Actions. Sticking an arm outside of my comfort zone instead of my whole body- and who knows- maybe more of my body will be out there by the end of the year, but even if it's not it'll be an arm more than it was before.
