December Kick-Off/November Check-In

[ofmonstrouswords]

Okay, I'm not sure what happened. I blinked, and it's December.

I know I've been absent this month--I'm really sorry about that, but basically I've just been so overloaded with stuff some balls had to get dropped, and posting or commenting here was one of them. I will be answering comments today and tomorrow, so if you've been waiting for a reply from me, that should happen soon!

Quick Kick Off post today because it's 1:30 am on the 1st and I need to sleep soon.

November Check-In

How did you do with your goals this past month? What did you accomplish?

If you feel like your writing suffered, try listing every single thing you accomplished--no matter how small it seems. When you list out everything you actually did it can surprise you with how big that list is, and honestly, it's a huge mood booster.

I just did this for November and I didn't even need to list every single thing I managed to accomplish before the list got LARGE--really, I did more than I realized.

It's my firm belief that we're all doing better than we realize. Take a moment to pat yourself on the back for it.

December Trackbear Leaderboard Code

Joining the leaderboard is optional! If you find it disheartening to be in competition with everyone, then please take care of your own mental health FIRST.

Discord Invite

You can join my author discord here and hang out in the Ferunwrimo channel (totally optional): https://www.katje.link/ferunwrimodiscord

I have temporarily removed the temporary membership bit from it, so you won't get kicked if you log off before I can assign you a role. Unfortunately nothing is really automated in my discord so it's up to me to do everything manually.

The server is quiet because I am, see above--terrible at keeping up things. But with more people we might have more conversation. Also, there is a sprinting bot so you can do writing sprints in the sprints channel!

Cozy FerUnWriMo Commence!

I don't know about you, but December signals coziness for me in multiple ways. For one, I'm in an area where it's winter, so all I want to do is bunk down inside with some hot cocoa and a crochet project.

Also, being a small business owner (I have a retail shop) means I'm open every single day between now and the 22nd, so I'm dreaming of Christmas and the few days after, when my husband and I take some time off work and hibernate. It also gives me a chance to prepare for the new year before it actually shows up.

So I'm going relaxed, laid back this month in my goals --- haha, just kidding. I am mainlining caffeine and continuing to ADHD too close to the sun, because I've got deadlines to make. But I will be cozy as heck while I'm doing it, so that counts for something.

How are you feeling about this month? Are you going to give yourself a bit of a rest, or is it business as usual?
