Giving Up On Giving Up: Check-in Post #1

[nanila]

Hello Fine Crew Members,
How are you doing on your Giving Up On Giving Up?

The only thing I'm managing to do every day is force myself to read the news. Possibly this doesn't sound like much, but I desperately want to bury my head in the sand on so many issues, including Trump, Eastern Ghouta, Brexit, the list goes on. So for me, opening up the Guardian Roundup and the Economist Espresso every day, gritting my teeth and reading them, is a triumph over inertia.

Here's hoping you've had some successes, however small, as well!

I try to personalize them at least a little; sometimes that's just going through thinking of it as a copyediting task, because I almost always want to change bits when I do that. (In this case, I actively don't want to preserve the original writer's voice, so can change more.)
