Wee Con and Edinburgh Part 4 of 4 Edinburgh Part 2 and Blog Thoughts

ecember, into January!

Yes, these photos are from the end of October but I wanted to keep sharing!

Wishing everyone happy holidays and a Happy New Year! This post will be up until the first Insecure Writer's Support Group Day post of January 2026.

Wow. Time flies. Soon this blog will be two decades old!

I've sort of been collecting the You Are Here mugs. But I didn't buy this one--they keep going up in price!

Interesting clouds over the Jura mountains...

The Alps!

This is a photo from a newsletter from Astrobotic; an update on the Griffin-1 mission. I really need to write a post detailing what's going on with the Writers on the Moon project; we might be trying again on Griffin-1!

 

Around this time, I used to do the Books Read posts, and the writing and craft updates...

The last Annual Books Read post was in December 2022, and it's easy to pinpoint why I haven't had time for one since: that's when I started to read mostly Our Flag Means Death fanfiction, and I began to write more regularly.

I successfully wrote the Annual Crafts Roundup, the Annual Travel Roundup, and the Year-End Writing Roundup last year! Hoping to get to those again in January and February. It's fun to see at a glance what I've done and what my plans are!

Are you making any new plans or or schedules or resolutions?
