The last resolution I will unload on you: To learn an instrument. I just think it would be awesome to have the ability to make music, even at the most basic, amateur level.

I know a resolution to doodle more sounds a bit goofy, but I think it pretty much encompasses my desire to make things for the fun of it and be a bit less results-driven. Just play and enjoy the process.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who wished me well and/or volunteered to help with pattern testing! I’m overwhelmed by the response. It really means a lot to me, so thank you.
