Goals/Comfort & Joy

Long-term Goal Check-In:

Danielle has started working on her writing routine and has some outlines to get her started on new drafts in the coming month or so.

Gwen definitely did Fall activities but did not keep up with intermittent fasting during her busy travel season.

Last Episode Goal Updates:

Danielle didn’t really do anything extra for her anniversary, but had a lovely weekend with her husband celebrating 9 years! This week, Danielle needs to clean her desk. Danielle’s IMAK RSI Smart Glove 2-Pack (recommended by fellow author Hanna Earnest) is helping her wrists while drafting.

Gwen has prepped  for THanksgiving and just needs the big day to get here for a Friendsgiving celebration. Her new goal is to wash her face at night and use her new splurge on La Mer! Gwen has been wearing Bombas merino wool long socks to stay warm.
