I'm going to make this one quick as I've got some crafting to do (will the image for this post be the finished craft or will I post it before then?! mysteries for the ages) so in quick list form, this week:
- Finished zine #7 collecting my newsletter, very rad to realise I'm close to catching up to where I am!!
- Finished the core of some world building for the story I'm working on. Dithering currently on if I want/need to plan more or if I should jump in. Might have found a compromise for my two halves, but we'll see.
- Maybe not interesting to YOU but I typed out my nominations for Yuletide '25. Wow, btw can you believe Yuletide season is starting again already?! My goal this year is to do not just the fic for the person I'm assigned but a treat as well. No lie, I do feel making myself do things like Flash Fiction February and Yuletide keeps my skills up and improves them even when I'm not able to keep my hand in as much as I'd like otherwise.
- Got a goodly chunk of the newsletter meat done, hooray.
- Household mending/tidying project that had me on a (two step) ladder, thereby mixing my "it's a core workout to do these tasks above my head" sweat with good ol "oh no I'm up so high I'm so scare" fear sweat. Is it relevant to the work I share here? NO. But I did get it done so please clap.
Thank you as always for your support!
