and it'll feel even faster, I'm sure, because I'm going on a trip soon!! I'm so excited, it's going to be great to see C again :)) I have a lowkey outfit for the main event we have planned, but not much because I'm only going carry-on about it.

I'm also looking forward to breakfast/brunch with some of the squad coming up, before everyone's gone past the winter break again. (I'm also a little nervy about the slosh tomorrow; I've kinda been talking with someone but like when in a text convo does one casually mention the probably-maybe-aro thing.....)

I've been particularly jazzed about going out of town, and this and that, so I haven't hit hard launch on a comm yet but it's on my whiteboard :) not forgotten! [link redacted, moved to login-locked post]

I've also been keeping up the writing!! my first work of 2026 is already one of my longest pieces in a while, and it's for a kink flash fest :') eyes closed head first can't lose!! actually, interestingly, I had to pull up and restart from scratch this past weekend because, while I really liked my first draft, it ended up being a story about isolation vs intimacy during COVID lockdown, of all things. And I think I was on to something! but I also don't quite think it's what a stranger might want as a kink meme gift. like, I'm a FIRM believer in writing from the heart, but also, don't be a dick to the target audience, right? So I'm putting a pin in that, and all its worldbuilding. I'm not mad at my final piece, but I can feel the rush on it lol. well, it was a flash-exchange after all; the whirlwind is part of the experience!

Writing is so fun, though. I haven't done relatively much with OCs, but they're such an adventure to get to know through the page in real-time. it's different from writing fanfic, for sure!

on the flipside, now I'm out a writing project! probably not that I could do much wordcount in the nearer future, out traveling, but it's important to keep the momentum going. hmmm. shoutout to the
