I started to put together my initial list of favorite #figureskating programs I saw in person in 2025 to do a top 10 list at the end of the year. I ended up picking about 40. D’oh.

I’ve learned I’m not emotionally equipped to handle this process. I want to keep writing, but I think I’ll just keep it to myself for the foreseeable future.
We’ve got two days left in #FirstDraftFall and we want to hear from you: what have you learned (about yourself, your writing, or your story) during this challenge?

We are really pleased. We wanted to skate with a lot of confidence, a lot of joy in our performance and really attack this program. And I think we were able to do that. We felt settled, we really believed in ourselves.

I’ll never get tired of skaters reaching out to me and thanking me for posting video of them (and I’ll always answer at first by thanking them for skating so beautifully). Especially show skaters, who frequently say they rarely get to see videos of their performances (which is a shame).
