For some reason, I've decided to turn off my dark themes on every part of my tech and on several sites I frequent - and now everything looks like a winter storm.
I'm doing it in motivation to finish my novel.

Don’t judge me🤣

Still trying to remember that banger chapter start that was in my head a few days ago. But I at least adjusted my outline accordingly to fit some new reveals.

I love when I give myself a writing deadline and then my characters laugh in my face. Still got ten chapters to write, but my sensitivity reader has been gracious enough to grant an extension for draft delivery.
