Hello! 👋
Well, well, we're finally into December, and there's a nip in the air. 🥶
Festivities are in, and this is our 90th edition — so, hey! We're excited. If there's one word we'd use to describe our time writing Going Solo, it would be: experiential.

Elizabeth Gilbert on Ingredients for Creativity
Bestselling author and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert is someone who believes in learning and unlearning throughout her creative process.

Follow Tommy Clark for All Things Social & Memes
Tommy Clark (formerly the head of Triple Whale's social) is the founder of a social agency for B2B companies, and runs a newsletter called Social Files for Workweek, which we totally dig. ✨
My brain's foggy, and I'm not in my normal set-up for the week.
So, it's the perfect time to talk about this topic:
Optimizing for consistency vs. optimizing for quality in your company's content strategy.
Most say, 'Just be consistent!'

Mark Rober Finally Enters Roblox
And the gaming world can't stop talking about it. 🤷🏻♀️
If you've been following Mark for a while on YouTube, you already know the kind of content he makes. On Roblox, he's taking it to the next level by teaching his audience all about rocketry. 🚀
Tubefilter states, “The Roblox world is titled “Build a Rocket VS Mark Rober,” and it’s affiliated with CrunchLabs, Rober’s STEM-oriented subscription box. The rocket-building world will further the mission of CrunchLabs by bringing scientific education into Roblox. Players who access the new server will gather and combine materials, which they will use to build rockets that can help them navigate a series of challenges.”
👉 Here's what a user says.
Mark has even invited several Roblox gamers and creators to experience this virtual game. Find out more about it from a Crunch Labs video. 👇

First Acts: Creatives Share Their (Very) Early Work
This piece by Matt Alagiah on It's Nice That is one of the most beautiful things we've read this week. 😍
Matt spoke to 4 illustrators and artists to understand their early work and journey, and while all those artists share their early work, what makes this piece heartwarming is the personal stories the artists share.
If there's one thing you should read today, let it be this.
🔥 Brewing Hot
That’s it for this week! We’ll be back with more stories next Friday. 👋🏼
