Another entertaining project from Neal.fun:
(Although the image of a person next to that Titanoboa is more than a little scary. At least we could have taken that angry turkey Velociraptor!)

How to Improve
Posted in Writing, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2026, practice, Thoughts, writing on January 5, 2026| Leave a Comment »
It’s a new year and a new opportunity to take a breath, reassess, and target new (or old!) goals. That doesn’t mean you have to join a gym or swear off every. single. one. of your favorite guilty pleasures or anything like that. That approach tends not to be sustainable.
(You may remember that I don’t really do resolutions, but I do like to take advantage of the January “fresh start effect” to reset… and to forgive myself when things don’t always go to plan🙂
That said, January is a good time to remember what you like, what you’d like to do, and to do more to get there.
If you’ve been working but feel you’re not making as much progress as you want, this piece might be useful:
How to practice effectively…for just about anything
This video focuses on physical tasks, but writing and many other tasks are also mind-body processes. And the idea of focused, targeted repetition with a concrete result in mind?
That’s the kind of goal I can get behind.

You’ve Got This

Welcome to a new year. Past me thought I might need a little encouragement as we step into the unknown. Here’s the letter I wrote myself in case you do too:
Dear FutureMe,
You’ve got this.
