Monday on a Thursday *headdesk*

[kaige68.livejournal.com]

Hello there! Did you all make it through Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Santa Parade Sunday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday? It all feels like it's been a trek since last week, and I only participated on one of those.

Your flash challenge is "ONLY 20?!?"

Big Buddy should be at 16% today. How are you doing?

We have no long challenge this month, but Advent is coming up in a few days, and Swap of Joy is going on. Are you all prepped for that?

I'm planning on hitting up the 100 in 100 again at the end of the month, so if you are tight for your year end figures you will have a LOT of prompts!

As always, hit that back button to go through some words of the day and weekend challenges to see if anything inspires you.

And then, what are your plans for creativity for the rest of the year? Did your NaNoWriMo piece get finished? Are you prepped with a plan for next year? What would you like to see here in 2025? What are the big goals?

I am grateful for everyone here at the comm, and I hope your holiday season is lovely.

eh...not so many words yet, too many real life distractions happening during the week...but we'll see what the weekend gets me.
If nothing else, I'll have 2 weeks off at the end of the month, so I can do a bunch of words then (at least that's the plan).
Yay for 100 in 100...I always have so much fun with that!

You'll get all the words done in 2 weeks off with the 100 in 100!!!

I didn't even realize or I'd have made a post! Ugh, it has been a WEEK.

Currently, I'm at like 8%, but I could easily double that if I put my mind to it.

Can't believe we're closing in on the end of the year already. CRAZY.

I'm just going to do my best, that's all I can offer. I have a few prompts left from my bingo card from our last long challenge, plus a bingo card I grabbed from another comm, so hopefully that will give me some motivation.

As I'm not getting responses done in a timely manner, indeed it has been a week.

Go get your bingos done and think about the end of the year another time!

Don't stress it. Nothing gets done in a timely manner this time of year.

I managed a line on the one for here. Haven't started the other, but will today. Yeah... trying really hard not to think about the end of the year at all. :/

Oh God, I am so behind! I have to get Christmas gifts and cards done for overseas this weekend, and somehow in between the madness of getting some things done at my Mum's house, get gifts wrapped and cards for locals done... and that's around Swap of Joy and Advent! I so need to get onto them because I really want to do some icons for the 100 in 100 too! Love you!

I have decided not to bake this year and that is a HUGE thing for me. It's probably been 30 years since I haven't baked. But it will help the brain.
It's so crazy this year. SO CRAZY. It does feel like there is so much to do. I hope you feel less swamped soon.

*hugs*

That really is huge! I hope it helps slow down the craziness!

Mum is going home on the 20th and my brother will be staying with her while his work is closed for a month over Christmas/summer so it should be less crazy after that, as I am not doing the Christmas food at ours (B is great with turkey & trimmings!).

I am so looking forward to that, and from the 25th I have a whole 12 days in a row off work, so most of that will be rest and recuperation!

*hugs*

I am behind by about 7k...but I was behind by 10, so I'm creeping up there. No plans today except post office and hopefully wrapping the strays if they wander in, so, after getting a late start this morning, I should get some breakfast and get cracking.
Looking forward to the 100 words!

Merry Christmas <3
