on fresh breeze, sequins on a

Just passed another milestone in my novel-writing journeyβ€”50,000 words!

This story has been a year and a half in the making already, so this achievement feels wonderful. Gonna bask in it today and then back to #writing! πŸ–ŠοΈ

A black-headed, blue-bodied Steller's jay sits perched on a railing with a snack in its beak. Plants surround the jay.

Waning crescent moon sits to the left of Venus and, very tiny, Regulus on a lightening blue sky

The crescent Moon glows
near Venus and Regulus
as dawn awakens

Beneath golds and reds
of fallen leaves and spent dreams
