#58: Goodbye, 2021

Podcasting, live streaming, sketching, and writing highlights of 2021, and why you should start writing in public.

2020 has been an incredible year in many ways. Yet I didn't expect COVID to be as present in 2021 as it was in 2020, honestly. Wherever you are, I hope that you're staying safe and healthy and can be, at least, in contact with your close friends, even if you can not spend time with them in person. Join me as I revisit my achievements in podcasting, live streaming, sketching, and writing over the past year. Happy new year!
