Congratulations on all fronts! Gosh, I know exactly what you mean about gloopy brain. Such a great description! When I'm in a groove, it flows well and feels great. Breaks are good, but can get slippery if they go on too long. It's such a good time of year to think about what to tweak for 2025. So many possibilities!

Thanks Maria and totally agree!

It’s definitely time for me to tweak a few things, although I’m currently working full time again so time is much tighter than it was. How are things with you?

Yes, life is always changing. Things are okay...been a tough month with the election results. Taking refuge in books and my writing! I desperately want to finish this first draft of my novel and I think it's within sight, but it's taking all of my focus and energy. So I'm also thinking about what I'm reaching for in 2025.

That’s amazing on your first draft and the end being in sight! And I hear you on taking refuge in books and reading, it’s the same for me too.

Congratulations on being here and writing for a year! It’s been so lovely to connect with you and meet in person and I’m excited to see where the next year takes you. I totally know what you mean about the gloopy brain! Mine has been seriously gloopy recently…

Thanks for the shoutout and hope we can collaborate again in the future.

Thanks fellow-Sarah! It's gone fast for sure, but it's been really worthwhile sticking with this and putting in the work.

Congrats on a year of putting yourself out there. It's not easy, even if you make it look that way!

Thanks Shoni! Not sure about you, but I quite enjoy jotting down ideas/topics to write about, but the process of refining these and considering what is 'worth' writing about is quite different.

Absolutely, I have spreadsheets full, but only about 30% see the light of day (so far) 😅
