There will be a Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, January 7 with a theme of "short forms." Think about your favorite short forms (haiku, sonnets, etc.) and snapshot topics that will fit in small poems. I hope to see you then!
The Pool Update page has the list of poems it sponsored, which will be linked as I work my way through posting them. The rest are epics, so it's slow going now. I'm down to the last 5 though!
The 2025 Rose and Bay Awards are now open for nominations! Please make your nominations and pass the word to all the crowdfunders you know and encourage them to participate. It would be especially helpful for folks you know via places like Kickstarter or Patreon, as I'm not on those sites.
I am eligible in the Poetry and Patron categories this year, if anyone wants to nominate me.
It's Snowflake season! :D I'm doing the Snowflake_challenge this year, so watch for my posts on odd-numbered days in January.

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. See the guide post 2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals. Did you make New Year's resoutions? Share your progress with the check in posts. Look for accountability buddies here.
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 cold and snowy here. We got several inches yesterday. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a large mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, a flock of starlings, a flock of mourning doves, a small flock of cardinals, at least two dark-eyed juncos (male and female), a tufted titmouse, and a downy woodpecker.
