    Me too!

    Come join me in the Mid-NovMo Panic Pad and try to play catch-up!

    I'll be in and out all weekend trying to cut into my ✨significant✨ deficit, and I'll happily word war, sprint, or encourage anyone else trying to get some writing done this weekend :)

    I might be scarce for a minute.


    TW - pet loss
    Spoiler! :

    Hayley the bunny joined Neville the bunny across the rainbow bridge yesterday afternoon. 💜

    When I adopted Hayley, I still hadn’t finished grieving Neville and I was seeking a rabbit different from him in every way. I succeeded. Hayley had a rough start in life and was pulled from a shelter by a local rescue because she was in danger of being euthanized for her ….spicy nature. She was in foster care with that rescue for a year and a half because of that same spicy nature, and it was that spicy nature, in part, that attracted me to her in September 2020.

    I named her Hayley after Hayley Williams of Paramore. Human Hayley has been very open about her trauma and mental health journey and I thought who better for Hayley the bunny to embody but her. (They also both have fantastic hair).

    Earning Hayley’s trust and being her chosen human is one of the greatest joys of my life. I got to see her sweet side — the side that loved to be pet and kissed and told how beautiful and smart and perfect she was every single day. I got to see her intelligence — the way she could solve any puzzle if treats were on the other side and the way she understood every single thing I said. I got to see her be a happy, thriving bunny — the daily zoomies and sprawling out in her rooms the way only a safe and happy bunny can.

    Her inner fierceness never left and she ruled over her house on top of her purple chair throne. She made sure everyone knew what she thought about everything at all times — throwing her toys, rearranging her pen, head butting me out of the way as only a true queen would do.

    I hope you found Neville and I hope the two of you are getting into plenty of trouble with mountains of kale and cilantro for the both of you.

    I love you forever my perfect little girl. I’ll see you there 💜

    always and forever thinking about ice dance.


    Spoiler! :
    my own skating and the elites
    we just finished week two of the big figure skating competition series (grand prix) and i'm coming off of mannnyyyyy hours of watching every single program with zero regrets.

    also, the knee I smoked twoish weeks ago is like 90-95% better & I'm back to my regularly scheduled skating time again. with pads now for the time being lol. which is a blessing because I'm at my happiest when I can skate regularly. there's just something about the feeling of the ice under my blades and holding a good edge for me <333

    lol was going to record the latest pattern dance (figure skating) I've been working on and submit it for judging on Friday. until I caught one of the hooks on my skate on the laces of my other skate and fell ✨hard✨ on my knee yesterday. now I have a beautiful bruised goose egg on my knee and I've been limping around ever since! probably won't be able to skate at all this week :( (I usually skate 4-5x a week)
    premature blessings to my massage therapist who will be thrilled to hear about this on tuesday and then fix everything <3


    (my hypochondriasis did try to convince me that I tore a ligament or meniscus but I'm 99% sure I can rule that out, so i'm going to say this is my third-worst injury since I started adult skating 4 years ago!)

    psttttttt calling all novelists!!

    It's October, which means it's time to get excited about writing 50,000 words in one month again!!!

    NaNoWriMo (NaNo) is now called Novel Month (NovMo)
    info thread explaining why coming soon

    The "pure" version of NovMo is to start writing a brand new book on November 1st and write 50,000 words of said book in November. Come write a novel in a month with us!! I promise it's fun!!

    BUT:
    *If 1667 words a day doesn't work for you - come up with a different goal!
    *If you want to write short stories, a screenplay, or something other than a novel - fine!
    *If you have a bunch of ideas and you want to bounce around - do your thing!

    AND:
    *It doesn't have to be good.
    *You don't have to share it with anyone if you don't want to.

    GET BRAINSTORMING!
    START PLANNING!
    BUILD YOUR PLAYLISTS!
    CREATE YOUR AESTHETIC BOARDS!
    & TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROJECT!

    I'm working on something brand new for a change and I can't wait to cheer you on! <3

    The face of a gal who went in her pet taxi with zero argument and who was complimented by the vet for being so good and polite during her checkup 😇😇

    (She scratched the vet last time 😇)

    This is Hayley the bunny if you haven’t met her before!!

    The plot of my book (bunny rom com) is playing out in real time again!

    I learned over the weekend that Petco has decided to reverse an earlier promise to not sell rabbits in store, and they will now be selling baby bunnies in store.

    This is bad.

    * Bunnies live 10+ years.
    * Bunnies need large enclosures and time to play outside of their enclosure daily. (NOT outside hutches and NOT anything they sell for rabbits in pet stores).
    * Bunnies need enrichment or they will eat your carpet, your baseboards, your door frames, and anything else they want. (and even with enrichment they still might eat all sorts of bad things).
    * Bunnies need specialized vet care. They need a vaccine for a deadly virus (referred to as "bunny ebola") with a yearly booster.
    * Bunnies need a very specific diet so you don't ruin their teeth and their digestive systems.
    * Bunnies need daily socialization with a human or a bunny friend.

    Don't get me wrong, they are WONDERFUL pets. Highly, highly recommend. But bunnies aren't the kind of pet to get on a whim. Please do your research. They deserve better.

    DO NOT BUY A BUNNY FROM PETCO OR ANY PET STORE. I know they're cute. Oh my GOSH they're cute.

    I promise you that there is at least one bunny rescue in your area that would LOVE to help get you set up to adopt one of their bunnies and save a life.

    I've had bunnies for over 11 years now -- Neville the bunny & Hayley the bunny <3 <3 I'm ALWAYS happy to talk bunnies to anyone interested in getting one/knowing more about them in general.

    And if you're feeling bold and want to send an email to Petco ethics -- I've got a template from one of my bunny groups I'd be happy to share along with the right email! ;) ;)


    I need an agent and then an editor to love bunny rom com as much as I do so I can publish it and then assemble my bunny saving army to take over the world.


    IcyFlame I don't think my email would mean anything coming from a different country, but I hope nobody buys any from them and it becomes a really stupid business decision for Petco!

    I've been working on my autumn novel with autumn ambience videos playing on youtube for so long I tricked myself into believing it's crisp outside on this dreary day.

    Imagine my surprise when I went outside and realized that it's still in fact 80°F and it's only october in my book.


    Snoink You should stop by here, lol. Our pumpkins have turned bright orange...

    fell asleep to a thunderstorm, slept for 10 hours, woke up to it still rainy, and it's a three day weekend.
    I will now take over the world.
    thank you.
