Hello on Wednesday! How are things going in the world of fic?
Did you write?
- Yes!
- No!
- Not yet!
If yes, what kind of writerly activity did you engage in? How do you feel about it?
If no, what were the obstacles/situations that affected your writerly pursuits? What will you do differently tomorrow to get more writing done?
If not yet, because the day hasn't gotten going yet, what kind of writing activity are you planning (or hoping) to accomplish?

It's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Sixteen Years: https://archiveofourown.org/works/69492656
Content Notes: A triple drabble and additional drabble written for
dreamkist in
seasonsofdrabbles Summer Round 2025, using their prompts: Reincarnation and Meditation. Originally I wrote these as a single drabble series but the mods felt that did not meet their criteria of a drabble series/sequence as it was based on a single scene so I split them up into a triple and single drabble for my recipient.
