Hi, Goodreads friends!

I hope your Christmas reading is treating you well. Speaking of Christmas, which new release has been your favorite this year? Let me know in the comments! I'm gearing up to start One Foggy Christmas by Kortney Keisel, and I'm pumped! I've heard great things about it.

I've stepped back from social media, and today makes six whole days. It's been nice. Quiet.

But not as fruitful as I'd hoped.

And that's okay.

For the first week of my break, I told myself I could do whatever I wanted. So, I've been writing two books, working on my college classes, hanging out with friends, and focusing on my job as a teacher.

Next week, I will dive into a more structured "break," which will include making graphics for 2025, rebranding social media, and upgrading my newsletter. I also plan to finish the first draft of my newsletter freebie :)

That's right. A new novella is coming soon!

And if you made it this far in this post, here is your special playlist hint/peek:

"The Archer" by Taylor Swift
