Happy New Year!

  • Writing wise, I stuck to my goal of writing for forty-five minutes per day (with a few exceptions for travel/etc). I made two posts on Service Slave Secrets and there’s lots more in the works!
  • Next month: I’m going to take the first week of February to put the finishing touches on, type up, edit, format, and post more works I drafted in January. Then, I’ll be upping my goal to writing for one hour per day for the rest of February (so it’ll be like I wrote forty-five minutes per day for the whole month). Keep up with my progress on TrackBear!
    • We had one Las Vegas TNG (The Next Generation) event this month: one of our usual munches. Thanks to everyone who attended!
    • In February, I’ll be hosting one of our usual munches on the 17th, if you happen to be 18-35 and local to the Vegas area.
    • For the Neon Cactus Wordsmiths, I hosted two Discord write-ins this month. Thanks to everyone who attended!
    • Next month, I’ll be hosting two more Discord write-ins on the 5th and 19th. If you happen to be a Las Vegas based writer, join us for those and more here.

    Other updates from this month:

    • Here are some of my favorite photos from this month. I also participated in a great January photo challenge on FetLife.
    • This month, my best read was My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. Keep up with my reading on StoryGraph!
    • I enjoyed a bunch of great time with family and friends, especially for my twenty-seventh birthday and my mom’s birthday as well!

    Thanks for everything this month; have a happy, healthy, and safe February!
