What a cool idea!! I love interconnected short stories and love the idea of connecting them with this one unifying object! I'll be curious to see if there will be some symbolism or a greater meaning for the burgundy scarf as the stories unfold :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

I've been kinda putting this off but I think I made some progress today. Who knows, maybe my future self will hate it and delete all of it to rewrite it later.

Anyways, I memorized the noble gases in the periodic table for this story (things that writers have to do man...) today. I also came up with a way easier mnemonic than "He Never Arrived; Kara Xero Run" which is so lame.
"He near Krogxern" messed up grammar and fantasy like placenames (once you memorize the spelling) helps me remember stuff much better.
To prove it:
Spoiler
without looking:
Helium
Neon
Argon
Krypton
Oganasson
Xenon
Radon boom, i typed it without looking (okay, tbf it's oganEsson but hey, even spell check doesn't know it so I count that as a win aight?)

ok, that's basically it.
(qotd: make conspiracy theories about why i needed to memorize the noble gases for this story.)

wow, this is such a late update lol. Uh... i didn't do TOO much, but I did some more writing done.

What I DID do though, was draft up a comic called "The Parrot & The Raven" which is technically the "first" novel idea I came up with and have had at the back burner for over 7 years now (still nowhere near finished lol)

sometimes i'm like "I should say something quotable to make it into the quote gen" but then I feel bad because quote gen quotes are very spontaneous
