April Intake/Output

*blows dust off*

Hello, it’s been a while. I didn’t say anything here because I felt like I didn’t have anything to say. I adopted a resolution of listening more than I speak a few years ago and it’s trickled into other areas of my life.

I figured I would come back when I was ready and I am. This is the April 2025 Intake/Output. I’ll try to post this once a month and maybe other things that I feel necessary for my website.

Intake:

I watched 8 movies this month. There was a pretty even split of visual popcorn and something more substantial. I will join the chorus of people saying how wonderful Sinners is. I will also encourage you to watch Dahomey. It was amazing

I finished 2 TV shows or mini-series

Silo season 2: The last three episodes were excellent.
The Residence: Uzo Aduba is a gem.

I read 7 books.

I’m finally getting the reading bug back and I’m so thankful. I’m noticing a trend of me enjoying fiction in my hand and non-fiction in my ears.

Output:

I’m chronicling my weekly joys on Substack
I am reediting a book draft and the new one has about 15K words. I’m hoping to have something I’m ready to do with by the end of the year.
I have another book idea that is in planning stages.
I’m coming up with new ideas daily that are exciting which is fantastic after what felt like a 3 year drought.
