For a bit of context, I am participating in an online writing course which requires pretty much daily writing for the month of November. It’s a useful (if maybe self-indulgent) bit of discipline for me, so I am putting my qualms aside and trying to go with it. Today’s theme is lists, and the benefits of making them. We have a few topics to choose from. I don’t know if I am profound enough to do a list of what I’ve learned, and listing out all the things I wish for could be depressing so I am going to go with things I like.
