The Pool Update page has the list of poems it sponsored, which will be linked as I work my way through posting them. I'm a little over halfway through, and the rest are epics, so it's slow going now.
"Not a Destination, But a Process" has 85 comments. "Online Friends Are Real Friends" is up to 30 comments.
Goals_on_dw is a new community for people who like goals and goal setting. A key focus will be New Year's resolutions, that being among the most popular contexts for such activities. Although the most common time is January 1, "new year" can also refer to other calendars or cultures, whatever works for you. Alternatively, just pick a time that works for you and go for it. You can introduce yourself or make new friends here. Are you doing the Fannish 50 challenge in 2025? Sign up at that post, or look for fannish bloggers to follow. See the signup posts for Arts and Crafts Challenges, Writing Challenges, Reading Challenges, and 25 things in 2025. Look back on 2024. Prepare for the Snowflake Challenge coming in January.
There is one open epic at present.
" Babes in the Pineywoods" belongs to the Big One. It belongs to the Big One thread of Polychrome Heroics. Bo-Art and Creamjeans are unsure what to make of this big black dog.
The weather has been chilly here. It rained again last night. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: many large flocks of sqieaking geese, a large flock of sparrows, a pair of cardinals, two male cardinals chasing each other, at least two downy woodpeckers, a male house finch, a mourning dove, a tufted titmouse, a northern flicker, and at least two fox squirrels.
