Next anon q: Do you remember your Bronzer days with joy? Or with time (and events) does it feel like just an old phase you went through?

Answer: So much joy. Some of the most fun ever. I will never stop being a Bronzer and I will never stop loving other Bronzers.

Next anonymous question: Favourite fandom/ship for fanfic?

My answer: Oh my goodness this is way harder than the career question.

My AO3 bookmarks say New Girl, Nick/Jess. Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dorian/Iron Bull is a close second. But mostly I love good gen friendfic. By which I mean fic about friends hanging out, not fic I write about my friends.

Next anonymous message: You are the best!

My reply: Thanks! Backatcha!

Fourth anonymous question: Favorite place you’ve ever visited?

My answer: The Library of Congress

Third anonymous question: If you could choose any career would it be what you’re doing right now or something else?

My answer: This is such a hard question. I would be a professional musical theater performer and fiction writer if I could but I do love my work.

Second anonymous question: Who’s the last person you texted?

My answer: My sister

First anonymous question: Hottest sport?

My answer: I don’t really sport and I’m super heat sensitive so… All of them that aren’t water or snow sports?

Did the PBS Kids NYE countdown so… Here’s to some good stuff happening in 2023.

A Dispatch from the Threshold of 2023 πŸšͺπŸŽ‡

I don’t know if I’ll get to do all the year-end/new year transition things I’d hoped to do today: tarot stuff, bullet journal migration. I need a nap and my right wrist is hurting and I think my left will soon follow. But guess what? Listening to my body is a great way to mark this transition.

Instead of one word for 2023, I have two:

ADVENTURE + REST

Tomorrow I’ll share more about my intentions for the year with Leigh Bardugo’s Begin As You Mean to Go On and Kim Werker’s Year of Making. But I have three intentions for the new year:

  1. Read for pleasure.
  2. Make things.
  3. Take walks.

More on those tomorrow.

And I want to keep moving toward living in alignment with my core values:

  • Curiosity
  • Creativity
  • Care

That’s all for now. I’ll share more soon.
