jack6. I tried out digital drawing for Drawtober, mostly using Krita (open source paint program), and did one drawing a day during the month. You should be able to see them on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10103380935724870&type=3 but ask me for a better link if you'd like.
I also wrote fanfic for the yuletide fanfic exchange (see previous post), and a few snippets and original fic. And experimented with making some board game designs including Pentacle-Assembling Demon Summoning game, Xenobotany game, Assassins Guild Annual DInner, etc.
7. We survived lockdown basically all year. We isolated from each other for two weeks at one point when it was the responsible thing to do, and probably it didn't make a difference but I'm glad we tried. We had evenings from the top and bottom of the stairs eating dinner and playing board games with each other electronically, like something out of a romantic drama. We had a lot of zoom and skype parties. We managed to visit each of our parents and a few other people outside, doing a day's drive without staying overnight. And saw the sea.
8. I tried out six different gyms, chose one, tried to set good habits, and then got set back by lockdown again and again. I am still trying to build a consistent improvement in jogging and weights, but I am making some progress there.
9. We continued our world film project from India to Japan, so less than one film a month, but it's been good to have in mind. At this rate we'll have finished in about 20 years :)
10. I continued on and off various projects to unfuck my brain reading some relevant books, trying to make time for some relevant exercises. I still don't have a good overview, but I feel like what I did was useful.
