Has it been a month already? Wow! Time flies! Nothing much going on, but I've been doing a lot of reading and writing.

I tell myself to work on a chapter a day, but that's not how it goes.

It's been a week since my last post and I've been busy doing various things. I feel I've been productive in updating the Unico site, but not so much for my story. Yesterday, I sat down to edit but didn't get far.

Can you tell I'm bad at making updates here? Oops! Nothing much to report, just editing and writing various things.

Oh, that's awesome you have a completion timeframe! I've tried having a set schedule, which worked for a year when my daughters were younger. I'm trying to do it again, but we'll see if I can keep up with it. Hope your writing project is going well!

Anyway, we'll see what I'm able to accomplish in 2025, right?

Each year I think, "Oh! I'm going to finish this!" Then a series of unfortunate things happen and I'm left feeling behind again. I enjoy writing the Unico blog/news posts, so at least that allows me to write in small bursts. But ugh... how do people stay focused on their art and writing?

I've been working on this story for so long, but hope one day I'll finish. I struggle between wishing I could draw it in comic form and writing it. Either way, it's a struggle to find the time and energy these days.

I'm not sure what to post, so I'll give a few updates on my writing lately! 2024 was a crazy year, so I'm finally getting back to writing. It's sporadic, as I'm a busy mom, but I'm still trying! Been gutting the crap out of some chapters and trying to improve the overall story. (continue...)

I made a Bluesky account, but we'll see how often I use it! Mainly want to stay in touch with friends who no longer use other platforms.
