Closing in on the end of the second draft of my WIP. I managed to come up with a solution to a problem I was having and it’s just so satisfying. Really excited for how it’s turning out #amwriting

Tonight I’m making nuts and bolts because it’s a given for this time of year. However, I also need to plan my baking list so I can start my baking. I just don’t know how much I want to make. I want to do it all.

2025 has been a tough year, so I wrote some thoughts about it and my writing.
2025 Writing Thoughts
This year has been a lot. Looking back at the last twelve months or so, it's felt as though there wasn't one month that didn't have some sort of bad news. From my partner going through some job changes that—while not drastically disruptive—definitely meant some change, to dealing with medical issues, to family health problems and loss. We also had a minor car accident that took two months to deal with, and even as the year is closing out, my three-year-old cat needs dental surgery.

I was going to make banana bread but had to look up how heavy my stand mixer is. I can’t lift more than ten pounds right now so now I need to wait for my partner to come home so he can lift it 😭

We put our lights up outside last weekend, but did not plug them in. We intended to wait until at least after Remembrance Day.
Three nights this week, our lights have been plugged in.
Finally spotted the one doing it, and it seems to be a child who is behind it. Still weird, less creepy though.

Tonight, our outdoor Christmas lights were on.
I did not plug them in. Nor did my partner. And yet, they were plugged in and on.

My 17 year old cat spent most of the summer sleeping and now seems determined to spend the fall screaming (mostly for food)

Due to various reasons, I’m missing out on Thanksgiving this year and everyone’s posts about their dinners is giving me some real FOMO

I've been periodically trying to look for work, but it gets more and more soul crushing as time goes on. My old career path seems basically non existent now. So I need to figure out what else I can do and where to even look for jobs at this point. Everything feels so discouraging.

Had to push back about the car accident this week and even though I know it’s the right thing to do it feels bad.

2025 has been a heck of a year and not necessarily a good one. I had hoped to escape the last few months unscathed but a cat shive accident last night had dashed that dream (all the humans are relatively okay at least)

I'm at a section in this story where I need to reveal a piece of information that will essentially kick off a major portion of the plot.
Here's a live look at my brain every time I try to mention exactly what that info is:
