Heya #heartsky! I know I've been very absent, but I've got a new fic to share: The Singing Springs, for the incredible December countdown series. Charlie & his family go caroling, much to his chagrin, but upon whose doors will they knock? πŸŽ„πŸŽ΅

I’ll add to this thread as things get added because otherwise I’ll feel bad for leaving someone out.

Text reading "Nick and his friends have signed up for a three-day reunion hiking trek through the late-autumn hills of Vermont. What he didn't sign up for, though, was for their stunning trail guide to have the most luxurious legs he's ever laid eyes on. Prompted by the need to check for ticks, Nick has some realizations about what he's into, learns a surprising amount about geology, and has a much more fun time than he could have expected."

The rumors are true - my first-ever E-rated HS fic is up! 😳 Chapter 1 (of 3) of Out on a Limb features Nick hiking with friends, meeting a trail guide, and learning about tick safety in a sexy way. (I promise it's better than that summary makes it sound! πŸ˜†) 🌲🌲🌲

An update: still working on the AitW sequel, but it's not getting written in order so can't start posting yet. Rather than get stressed, I'm gonna let the creativity flow how it will and start posting when I can, hopefully later this month. I promise we'll be back in the woods before you know it! πŸ’šπŸŒ²

Well, I've been missing while off having yet another woods adventure! Had a wonderful time connecting with nature, and got a bunch of brainstorming/writing done while I was at it.

Here are some photos I took that will be inspiring my writing-focused October! Hope you all have been well #heartsky πŸ’š

A cute cartoon raccoon sits smiling against an orange background. Beside it, a yellow banner reads β€œTrash Panda Reminders.” Below are self-care reminders with little heart icons:
Get enough sleep or take a nap
Do what makes you happy
Eat something delicious
Spend some time outside
Drink your water
Get creative
Be cute

Some days we need the raccoon-approved basics: rest, snacks, hydration, and being a little cute. None of these things fix everything, but they help!
