I was feeling quite #laconic when I wrote most of these answers. Sorry for the abruptness.

To the questions.

(1) What are your writing related New Year Resolutions?

Don't have any.

(2) Do you have other artistic leanings? How do these affect your writing?

A little #drawing, some #arts & crafts, #programming, #mathematics. I'm not aware of any influence of these on my writing.

(3) What's your writing routine? If you have one.

Don't have one.

Laconic, concise,
Pithy, terse, or short-and-sweetβ€”
All brief, yet diff'rent.

I haven't found a digital planner that can properly deal with how often I hop timezones. Sometimes you just have to stick to paper. Most planners are so big that I don't want to take them with me, so I'm very happy I found this stick planner in Japan!

Finally I have a planner that I'll actually toss in my travel bag!
