I had some beets and parsnips so I peeled those, diced finely, dusted lightly with tapioca, brushed with coconut oil and baked until crispy on parchment. Then I baked some Italian sausages to render out the fat, blotted dry and cut into circles. I topped all this with a pile of arugula and whipped up a lemon and mustard vinaigrette. 10/10 would make again on purpose when not cleaning out the fridge and improvising.

Well, two, I guess - my serialized novel, which is in the final rounds of redrafting and editing the first draft; and then I'll pick up one of my other partially-finished longform works and try to push through to finish it. Honestly, I care less about wordcount and 50k than I do about finishing something, since I struggle so much with declaring anything done, even in draft form.
I just did a wordcount on my drafts folder and found that between completed and incomplete projects I have written 432K words since August 2017. That's around 28k words per month. Of that stuff, there is 1 completed novella, many completed poems and short stories, 1 near-complete novel lacking a final chapter, 1 not-at-all complete novel that I will simply have to return to at a later time, and 3 novellas that are also incomplete. So it seems that aiming to finish one of these things is the way to go for me.

I've been harassed on reddit quite a few times although the blocking and reporting functions were mostly enough to deal with it. But did it make me think twice before sticking my neck out to opine about similar issues? Absolutely.
I get that you're trying to ask whether harassment has reached a critical level where the user leaves a platform over it, for example, but I think some people who've received harassment might be hiding in the 'no' answer just because they feel their experience wasn't 'bad enough' to qualify for that.

eros_bittersweet Link ParentI agree. I mostly drink in non - social situations - with my partner and during meals. That seems neither like social drinking, nor the quasi-alcoholism the "not trying to quit" clause implies.I agree. I mostly drink in non - social situations - with my partner and during meals. That seems neither like social drinking, nor the quasi-alcoholism the "not trying to quit" clause implies.
That is very well - meaning and wise. I view a lot of them as 'learning about writing' experiments though, even if they're technically done, and just the thought of whipping a collection of them into publishing shape is enough to make me weep. I will do some kind of story collection someday for sure, but making it to the end of redrafting my novel is what gets me hyped up for November!
