Figure out how to balance the fibro enough to write more regularly again.
My 2026 writing goal is to finally finish this novel in the first half and then write weird shit for the second half. What's your writing goal?

It frequently happens where dnd masters will say, “ohhh, I always wanted to write, but I can’t” and then they’ll detail campaigns which, very often, are compelling. If a whole table of nerds shows up to your house every Sunday to role play your stories, you may well have the gift. Just a thought!

My friend is on a limited time window at this point and could really use some help saving up for a gender affirming surgery. Even if you can only donate $5, I'd very much appreciate it. (That sort of thing adds up over time.)
