There will be a Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, January 4 with a theme of "Short Forms." I hope to see you all then!

I am still working through the sponsored poems from the Holiday Poetry Sale. I am nowhere near done, sorry. You-all were amazingly generous. <3 You can follow along here, or watch the sale page to see new titles linked.

If you're following the memorial posts about my mother, they're all linked through "Come and Cry with Me."

I did Lexember 2021, made blackout, and everything is linked in the final post.


I am participating in the snowflake_challenge again. Come talk about your fannish passions and make new friends. There's no actual time limit on posting and we've only done two posts so far, so it's easy to catch up.

New Year's Resolution Status

How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? I have completed 1 of my goals for 2022, and begun 12 (some of which can't be completed until the end of the year).


Poetry in Microfunding:

There is one open epic at present.

"Rainshadow Road" belongs the Daughters of the Apocalypse series. It discusses herbalism.


The weather has been colder here.  It finally snowed, just a little.  Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large flock of sparrows, a flock of house finches, several cardinals, and a two squirrels.

Congrats on finishing a goal already! I have finished half a goal (compile a list of charities, so I can then donate to said charities), and have started on 11 others, almost all of those being year long goals.

I'm contemplating joining the Snowflake Challenge, but I'm not sure if I can actually do it.

Thank you!

Usually I manage to knock of a few of the one-day goals faster, but things have been crazy here. I didn't even realize I'd finished that one until I actually looked at the list.

Go you!

Give it a try. Snowflake is a low-pressure, high-inspiration fest with lots of new people to interact with. Most of them disappear by the end of the month, though. I've gotten a few new subscribers, that's always fun.

I decided to give it a go! So far it has been a success, and I think I have have made a few new friends! I'm glad I decided to give it a chance.
