Reading Self Reflection
This year, I started 23 books and finished 22 of them. This year I read a mix of realistic fiction, historical fiction, mystery, biography, non-fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and auto-biography.

Another way I have changed as a writer this year is that I enjoy research papers far more than previously. I don’t know why I like research papers, they take the longest, they're the most work, perhaps because I enjoy facts and evidence. A final way I have changed as a writer this year is that I use punctuation correctly more of the time, there are still a few times that I miss a comma or mean a period, but I have noticed that I make far less punctuation mistakes by the start of the
