this lil bot is taking a break till january 2.
you are not a bot: you deserve rest if you need rest, and writing well doesn't necessarily mean writing nonstop.
i do plan on writing/revising during the next few days, but i'll be doing TONS of loafing too, tons of reading too.
see u in 2026

I woke up early. I had programmed the coffeemaker the night before, so I was all ready to go. And then I sat down & the cat sat on my lap as I drank my coffee & I was so sure I couldn't write, the laptop was far away. Because cat. But it turns out you actually *can* move a cat.

It’s morning, everyone was asleep, and I snuck in a few handwritten pages. I’m supposed to be revising a long, close-to-finished thing, so I’m writing to procastinate on “real” writing, which I recommend. Write what you’re not supposed to write.

I’m on a treadmill right now but plan on handwriting a little while my kid swims. Nothing major. You could too, if you’re feeling like it, but it’s the weekend & you could also not write—you’re not a machine. Rest, read, have fun. Write if you want to, but keep it casual.

Did you write? You still have time! Two drafting strategies to use, even if pressed for time, are (1) distance & (2) structure.
Try drafting a page by hand. No fancy pens or paper, just whatever you have. (If you *have* to use a computer, change the font to something ugly and BIG.) (1/2)

u only need a few notes or lines or a paragraphs. a first draft is mostly taking notes anyway.
the hardest bit is the pre-writing dread + those first few minutes where it feels like i've got nothing, but you can get past that. even if you don't, it's fine. the best part is having written.
