Accomplishments I’m proud of in 2020
Jan. 1st, 2021 10:35 pmThis has been a hard year for everyone, and one we’re all happy to see the back of. But for me personally, I will admit it could have been a lot worse. I like solitude and dealt with social distancing a lot better than more gregarious people did, and my job was able to adapt to the work from home model fairly well. It meant I was able to keep safe and relatively happy even during difficult times.
I was also able to stay productive and creative. I used my increased time at home to make things, and I’m actually really proud of the things I made. I added in several activities I’d been wanting to make a habit for a long time. The end result was a lot of which I’m very proud to have done:
- read 38 books this past year.
- wrote a TON of things with Bernie.
— a new pilot script for an hour-long sci-fi show called From Dust.
— four episodes of a half-hour comedy called Dream Machine
— a radio adaptation with Jeremy Holstein of the Jeeves and Wooster story Pearls Mean Tears
— almost 20,000 words of a prose fan fiction about Steve Rogers’s post-Endgame life, His Part to Play.
— a new full-length Mrs. Hawking play, the Justin Hawking-centered comedic spinoff Gentlemen Never Tell.
- put together four staged readings recorded on Zoom of the four episodes of Dream Machine, which were incredibly fun and funny to perform.
- shot two full-length socially-distanced versions of the current Mrs. Hawking shows, part VI: FALLEN WOMEN, and the new spinoff GENTLEMEN NEVER TELL, by using a system of my own design
- increased my charitable giving by almost three hundred percent, to environmental and social justice causes.
- drew 251 portraits of various people, to practice my ability to recognizably capture human faces
- got into very good shape by taking on a challenging at-home workout routine
- successfully taught two classes entirely online, allowing most of my students to succeed despite the challenges
I didn’t do everything I wanted to do this year. But I did a lot, and I’m very happy that I managed what I did.
