    163 – Did You Resolve to Write a Children’s Book?
    2025/01/02
    Have you made a New Year’s Resolution? I stopped making them, oddly enough, because I go to the gym a lot and accidentally noticed a few things about goal setting and motivation. Many of you may have a goal to write a children’s book, and I think that’s great. That’s why I’ve decided to make … Continue reading "163 – Did You Resolve to Write a Children’s Book?"

    At the beginning of the year, I made predictions about films based on children’s books that would come out in 2024. Was I right? Was I wrong? And what’s coming up in 2025? (AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!)

    2024/12/03
    I didn’t think I’d have much to say about Disney’s latest live action remake, Snow White, until it actually came out.
