We've reached the closing curtain of our beautiful Snowflake Challenge 2026. It's been a whirlwind month of fun, community, and lots of creativity! One of the best parts of this challenge is that it truly lives up to its name and its original inspiration: every single year that we come together to celebrate is a unique circumstance of participants, mods, prompts, graphics, challenges, and celebrations. Every year is a unique snowflake in and of itself, never again to be replicated in the exact same pattern. I hope everyone felt some enjoyment and appreciation during the past month, and of course please continue to post your responses and fills because there is no deadline to this challenge!

Thank you so much to all the participants. Thank you especially to those who took the time to interact with fellow participants and make the community feel so alive! And of course thank you to all the mods who went above and beyond and especially to

tjs_whatnot, our co-admin who has worked really hard this month to keep everything running smoothly.

We do have a poll below to get your feedback on the challenge, if that's something you're interested in doing. We really appreciate it and we take all your responses into consideration when planning for next year.

Peace and happy late winter season to all!

( Poll under the cut! )

I booked Holly in for a vet appointment. I strongly suspect she's got an inflamed tooth. It looked rather red around it when I looked at her teeth, but we'll see what they say. If it is inflamed, I'd be surprised if it wasn't FORL* rearing its ugly head again. Ah, it was quite nice not having any chronic conditions going on for a few weeks.

*Feline Oral Resorption Lesion. It's a weird condition where the cat can basically get cavities in their teeth from the inside out. Unknown what triggers it, but it's quite common in cats. Both Luna and Charm had teeth removed because of it.

Once more, I'm doing the lists, and the goals, and trying to catch up everywhere (like here 😅), but I finally think I have stumbled upon the right balance of Goals VS Stress for myself.

As the title says, I don't want to jinx it by celebrating too early, but I feel like myself again 💖 Helps that I've sworn to not work more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week this year. Funny how much of a change that's already brought on, four weeks into the new year 😉

I'm back to writing! The "you have to do everything so you do nothing"-stress of 2025 is gone at last, which means I can sit down and work more efficiently on line-edits of my closest-to-finished-WIP A Werewolf in October. I'm hoping to print it (just, like, 10 copies, not publish) at the end of this year, but if it's not ready then, it's not ready. It'll never be as polished and error free as a professional work with actual beta-readers and editors etc but I'm not aiming for professional - I'm aiming for a fun thing to have made that I can share with a handful of my friends 😊

Doing my best to return to timed goals instead of accomplishment goals. That is, "work on this story for 30 minutes tonight" instead of "you have to listen to 14 podcast episodes this week". My deadline heavy work life reaaaally infected my way of thinking of my hobbies - but no more, I say!

Since I'm going Slow And Steady Wins The Race, I'm also trying not to fret over being so behind on comments and blog entries here on DW (I'll tell you if I succeed). It's why I've skipped the Snowflake challenge this year - at least for now.

So. In a hopeful mood, despite *gestures at the state of the world*

Current Mood: hopeful
