Sour cream and cheddar scones out of the oven. #baking

Maybe I’ll bake scones this weekend.

Everyone needs escapism, but many escape to never return. #life #failure

You can stop doomscrolling. Just assume everything is worse than what you imagined it to be. This is, after all, what most people here want.~

It’s time for some tea.

Phew! I’m exhausted. Finished the final editing pass through “To Wield Power: Coins of Destiny 2”. I’ll take the weekend off, and then do a final readthrough and formatting pass next week. #writing #editing

Cool! The cover of “To Preserve Health: Coins of Destiny 1” was used in a promotion, by BookBaby auteureist.com/CoD/COD-1… #publishing #books #cover

I wonder if I should eat something today.

It’s time for a break from the editing slog.

That’s better. I blocked all the News+ sites and articles that litter/spam the Apple News app. It’s not perfect, but now I don’t have to get peppered by the Apple spam and actually read some stuff I’m interested in. #apple #news #spam #failure

I’m looking forward to the day (coming soon) when I won’t have to edit and can go back to writing stuff which I’ll have to edit at some point. #writing #editing

Have you taken on a new hobby in 2025? How’s it going?
