What were some of your the highlights of your 2023? The best content you came across, your personal wins and biggest lessons?

A few of my honorable mentions are re-reading a few Animorphs books on my phone so that I use social media less, reading books to my daughter, and I Think You Should Leave memes.

“I am grateful to have that kind of home life—that it is stable enough that it can not only be a haven for myself, but a point of rest and reference for the other loved ones in my life.”

That is true wealth. Happy for you my friend! And all the accomplishments you achieved last year.

Happy new year Charlie! You had a fantastic 2023 and I can wait to read your work this year :)

My favorite memory of 2023 will be the birth of my second child.

The Booklovers Pilgramage brought me to your Substack, and I was inspired by your “just start” approach to writing. Also completely agree about that episode of The Bear.

What a year indeed! The Bear was easily the best show Ive watched in a long time. Stressful but beautiful.

I'm here binging on your latest stuff in reverse chronological order and find this kind note on our group and my little film. Thanks man! You have been an amazing addition to our group.

Also, what a year you had! Reminded me how I sometimes think that it was a "meh" week/month/year, but if you really look at it closely there's so many amazing highlights. Thanks for the reminder, and happy you had such a great year and which parts you chose to highlight.

Lastly: man, I can't tell you how much I love Station Eleven. It occupies a permanent space in my head, and I believe there should be courses taught on it. Glad, and not surprised, to know you're also a fan.
