🍂Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday, everyone! 🍂
🦃💺Hope you’re all having a great holiday! Did anyone pick up anything cool during Black Friday? I treated myself to a much-needed new computer chair. Definitely needed the upgrade!
🎨🌻This week, I’ve been working on a friend’s art commission (almost done with the background!), plus still plugging away at my Stardew Valley Nyapu-style seasonal portraits mod for both Vanilla and Ridgeside Village. On top of that, I’ve been doodling some fun gender-swapped versions of the Stardew bachelorettes. Hoping to finish them all by next month, so I can start fresh in 2024!
✍️😅I also made a little progress on my short story “You Knew,” and jotted down a few new story ideas. Honestly, I have so many writing projects piling up, I really need to buckle down and get them done. My goal is to finish first drafts for as many as I can before the end of the year… but with everything going on, we’ll see how many I actually get to.
🎮🤖When I’m not working, I’ve been hooked on Cyberpunk 2077 (side quests for days!) but still playing my heavily modded Stardew Valley too. Balancing all the things, but having a blast.
📚📖As the year winds down, I’m trying to knock out some of my resolutions. I’ve read 93 out of 100 books so far (just a few more to go!), and recently finished The Lovecraft Collection, Not Til We Are Lost (Bobiverse #4), and Cibola Burn (The Expanse #4). Now I’m reading Royally Matched, A Rake’s Vow, and The Three-Body Problem—plus a bunch more on my shelf.
🙏✨The big one I’m working on now is Les Misérables for my 2024 resolution. Going to try to finish it before the end of the year… we’ll see how that goes! I’ve already knocked out most of my easy goals, and a couple medium ones, but there are still a few tough ones left. Wish me luck!
How about you? How are your year-end goals looking? Anything big you’re hoping to finish before 2024?
