Reminder for anyone looking at their calendar + trying to figure out how to hit those writing / creative goals you made for 2025:
It's okay to adjust in order to take care of you. You are more important than your work.
Sending everyone gentle positive vibes as we head into the winter season. ❄️

#FolktaleWeek2025 Day 7
As dawn began, Eleanor Sheep wrapped a pink feather boa around her neck & went outside & danced as the sun came up. Eleanor Sheep wondered what she would do with her day since she had so many of them ahead of her. The sky was the limit.

A huge bolt of lightning cracked in the sky & thunder shook the cottage. A startled Eleanor leapt from her hiding place in the trunk. Death looked at the strange creature standing by the bed. It was very peculiar, covered with pink feathers.

Eleanor Sheep climbed out of the honey, dripping with the sweet nectar. Then she noticed the trunk that she kept by her bed. She opened the trunk, which was filled with pink dyed feathers, and climbed inside. She fit completely in the trunk.

“Eleanor Sheep, you have cheated me for the last time! I shall come for you tomorrow.” And with that, Death went & erased the word ‘Tomorrow’ with his sleeve. Eleanor did not smile. She had to think of a new way to outwit death.
