My main goal for the new year is to dive deep into writing,
Engaging with topics that are inviting and exciting,
Making the most of every moment,
And learning how to connect each component.
I know writing is vast,
And I want to climb its mast,
Swim skillfully in its river,
Avoiding every hidden sliver.
Writing is something I love to do,
But I still need to learn how to effectively break through,
I want to navigate the turbulent sea,
Until I become what I aspire to be.
I aim to walk alongside top-notch writers,
Learning all that truly matters,
Pushing beyond the frontier,
Until the coast is clear.
