Greetings dear Chroniclers,

Do you set resolutions for the new year? I haven't for some time now, instead I've picked themes and larger projects I'd like to work on. This year I chose "Play" the Japanese concept of "Ma".

I chose Play because I need to take more down time.

Ma is hard to describe. I've seen it described as emptiness full of possibilities and in the saying "Where there is clutter, even valuable things lose their value. Where there is too much, nothing stands out." This one resonated with me because I tend to fill my life to overflowing - time and space wise.

Both are themes I look forward to embracing this year.

What would your theme(s) be for 2026?

For fun, I'll share a bit of whimsy to help you make decisions: "Nakamura Sensei's Absolutely Accurate Advice" gives you the answers you need. It's like a Magic 8 ball that gives random answers, but with more snark. ;)

Nakamura Hisako is one of my favorite characters from Liminal Chronicles. (She has 2 clickable/hoverable secrets to share. So click and move your mouse around in the article. But to see all her secrets, you'll need to sign up for a free World Anvil (a world building site) account and pick all the team secrets selections on her page. Not sponsored. I just enjoy doing my world building there. ;) )
