a man with curly hair and glasses is saying just dreams sleep it off
Alt: A Caucasian man with curly reddish hair and wearing wire-rimmed glasses shakes his head and his lips move. Text below reads: Just dreams. Sleep it off. Superimposed on the image, next to the text, is a small seated figure in yellow trousers, blue shirt, and sombrero, who's napping.

Last year slipped by—along with my attempt to finish a #novel. This year, I'm nearly done with my #2nddraft. A #WIP, but I'm hella farther along & loving the process & progress.
