Happy December!

 Happy December, friends!

I don't know about you, but I drink hot drinks all year round. I love to start my day with coffee and end it with tea. As the weather has turned colder, I've found greater enjoyment in it. There's just something about cozying up with a warm drink. But to be honest, as I've gotten older, a fair amount of the shiny parts of the Christmas season have been overshadowed by the frustration of societal expectations. Less is more, I say. Yet I've realized this isn't about me. Shocker, I know. So, I've set out my few minimalist decorations. I've embraced a tree this year (a tiny Scandinavian-style one, but even so). And strangely, I'm finding that I don't mind the twinkle lights so much this year. Even if the silver garland I placed on the mantle is driving me bonkers.

Writing . . .

I'm doing my best to stick to my goal of editing three chapters a week. Other than last week, I've hit it every time. I'm actually ahead of schedule at the moment, which means I'll be working on notes for the next chapter tomorrow to get a head start on the next round. Only 64 pages to go before I'm done with line edits!

Music . . .

Give the video a watch. It's giving anime vibes, and it's so cool!
