In a quiet little nook, there lived an author... AuDHD + hEDS hobbit and crocheter, raising kiddo dragons while battling chronic pain and writing diverse, cozy romantic fantasies πππ― WIP: Project Dragonshire @ 118K
I cannot for the life of me figure out this last chapter.

Finally finished one of the ending chapters!! π₯³
It was like pulling teeth and will need plenty of revision, but I got it down on paper. Now for the last two!

Today was the first day I sat down to write since mid-Dec... it didn't go very well π©
I'm hitting a wall with these final climax chapters, which is really throwing off my motivation to write because I want so badly to be done with this first draft, but it's just not working.

It is so important to our creative well-being to make art that doesn't feed into the capitalism machine. Turning every creative expression into something consumable really does poison the creativity well. Guard that space. Make art for the sake of making.

I wish there was a social media made for and filled with only cozy content. Give me muffin recipes, fuzzy socks, and quotes from LOTR.

New year, new era... β¨οΈ Whimsy β¨οΈ
This year I want to add little bits of whimsy to my life. From collecting vintage trinkets to adding lace on my sweaters and planting wildflowers or painting the ceiling with stars. I want to find magic in everything, especially the everyday.

I'm ending the year with two chapters (maybe three) left on my wip.
It's frustrating to be so close to my goal of finishing the first draft and not hitting it, but given that I didn't even have an outline at the start of 2025 - I'm still counting it as a win.

Go figures I get sick as soon as I finally figure out the outline for the last few chapters of my #wip π
Sighhh.
I don't want to jinx it, BUT I think I've finally sorted out the outline for the ending of my #wip Whew!
