Hello all, and welcome to 2025!

Amma here, Campfire’s Writer and Content Strategist, and I’d like to know: what stories are you writing in the new year? These stories can be figurative, as in committing yourself to the change that comes with resolutions and intentions. Or, as in my case, they could be literal.

I’m a standup comedian when I’m not click-clacking at a keyboard, and I’ve committed myself to writing a new hour of material. For me, the best comedy comes from a place of truth, and there’s going to be a lot of reflection on the many stories I tell myself in the months to come.

Here’s how I’m reflecting as I write, and you’re welcome to borrow these questions as you “write” for yourself:

• Who in my life can help me tell this story thoughtfully and honestly? Who do I share my stories with, either in telling them or in living them?
• How will I decide which parts of the story “make” the show, and which parts are just for me?
• How will I be different once I’ve woven these story threads together for the first time?
• How will I take care of myself as some of the threads knot, bunch, or even break?

Wishing you a safe, story-filled, and satisfying 2025,
Amma
