With a number of blog and social media authors writing up their individual year in review posts, I wanted to share some of my own thoughts on not just how 2022 went, but on how I hope 2023 to be a vast improvement. I can’t say that the past year went necessarily bad, but it did have its moments.

Breaking Through Creative Blocks
