Managed just under 1k words and knocked out a hike with some pretty awesome falls! Finding some food and knocking out the rest of my words for the day :)
Foreground is a wooden fence overlooking High Falls with a covered bridge in the background and trees against the blue sky In the foreground is part of a wooden fence with bushes overlooking Triple Falls

Spent the morning writing and had a nice afternoon hike in the mountains before the cold hits tomorrow

Spending this beautiful fall morning with a warm hot cocoa (extra marshmallows) and a book 😊
The book Fourth Wing open to chapter twenty-seven in the foreground, with a mug and a spoon on a wooden table looking out of a balcony door to a view of trees with leaves in different colors or green, red, and gold in the background.

My MC is Maia Avalos, the daughter of a fallen rebel leader, who infiltrates the enemy for the rebellion, but begins to question if she's fighting on the right side of history.

Sharing an aesthetic for my NA dystopian that is in the final edits phase
The aesthetic board has a black square in the middle with white text that reads "it's all lies, darling". The top left corner is a black and white pic of a woman holding a dagger to her lips, the top middle is a spiderweb between some evergreen needles with more woods blurred in the background, the top right is a woman looking at herself in the reflection of shattered pieces of mirror, the middle right is a sepia toned chessboard, the bottom right is the back of a man in a long black trench coat walking away with his coat billowing in the wind, the bottom middle are bright red roses on bushes dusted with snow, the bottom left is a man with a scar running down his neck, the middle left are several old apothecary bottles of varying colors and sizes stacked tight on a table.
