Progress Isn’t A Straight Line

By Cynthia Sax on January 10, 2026

Many of us set New Year’s Resolutions, goals we want to achieve.

It is January 10th and I have experienced setbacks in those goals. Some setbacks are so severe I’m tempted to discard the goal entirely.

But that is NOT the way (to reference The Mandalorian – grins).

Setbacks are always part of progress, of change.

The path to progress isn’t a straight line. It isn’t a mountain.

It is more like a series of increasingly high hills.

We go forward. We go back a little bit. We go forward. We go back a little bit.

Eventually we reach the altitude or goal we wish to achieve.

Don’t allow a setback or two (or fifteen – grins) stop you from achieving your goals!

Setbacks are part of the process. Recognize them, my friends, and continue trekking forward.

Make Having Fun One Of Your New Year’s Resolutions

By Cynthia Sax on December 31, 2025

Today, New Year’s Eve, is often a day to set and talk about New Year’s Resolutions, goals and aspirations we have for the new year.

Many resolutions will be semi serious. For writers, it might be to write X number of stories. For readers, it might be to read X number of stories.

But ensure you make one of your New Year’s Resolutions having fun.

Having fun seems trivial. But it is very much NOT. Moments of fun are rewards for hard work. They are reasons TO work hard. Joy keeps us going. And it makes everyone around us happy also.

So set a resolution to tell one bad joke a week or have a silly dance party once a month or wear a goofy hat or explore a new-to-you neighborhood or…

Plan to have fun in 2026. You deserve this!
