The Insecure Writer’s Support Group and Lantern Festival Pictures

It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.


January 7 question - Is there anything in your writing plans for 2026 that you are going to do that you couldn't get done in 2025?

I’m still considering a charcuterie board cookbook, although there are a lot out there. I’m also thinking about some writing for fun. Something that doesn’t need to be published. I certainly have enough short stories written plus tons of ideas for more.

December was way busier than I wanted. Physical therapy every week, Christmas and New Year’s, my husband’s 60th birthday, TSO concert, Lantern Festival, Christmas parties, appointments…you get the idea! So, more than anything, I want more space and time this year. I like to run (my 5k time is under 39 minutes now) but I don’t like THAT kind of running around.

I’ll leave you with the Christmas meal (sandwiches & stuff) Charcuterie board and some pictures from the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was rather amazing!
