What are you looking forward to in 2026?
I've got books and events planned and and a whole lot of rest and balance.
Next year will be so much better now that I have my health, and have made a lot of progress in therapy. Going to really focus on taking care of myself.
Wishing you the best 2026!
I'm low key shocked about how many words I wrote this year. When I tallied them all up I couldn't believe it. I was sick for most of this year and had major depression backslides, but I guess I did alright.
2025 was a ✨year✨. Wasn’t it?
But there’s still so much I’m proud of, and the future seems a little brighter for 2026, and I’m so very grateful to all of you.
Many thanks to @avaasbooks for creating the template I adjusted to suit my aesthetic.
