#TimeTravelAuthors #Day9 For my current WIP, I want to have the draft 50% complete this year. I also want to write 24 blog posts, brainstorm 6 future story ideas, write 2 poems/month, plus keep journaling. Too much? Not enough?

Time Travel Authors – 9 January prompt: Your goals for 2026
2026-01-09
Discontent is an unpolluted state which exists in each one of us if it is not deadened through wrong education, through gratifying solutions, through ambition, or through the pursuit of an ideal. When we understand the nature of real discontent, we shall see that attention is part of this burning flame which consumes the pettiness and leaves the mind free of the limitations of self-enclosing pursuits and gratifications.

Day 9's wee bottle was Glenfiddich's 23 year old, 40% ABV Grand Cru, which has shown up in two previous calendars. Matured in ex-bourbon American oak, European oak, and French Champagne cuvée casks. Apples, pears, and caramel on the nose; honey, ginger, and shortbread on the palate; more pear and the oak on the finish. Bourbon-y but with wine and oak.

My favorite genre of mapping as a schoolchild. A way to play with relief - to deform a sheet. Some years after doing this at school, I ended up in geology. Maybe because we work with the models of relief formation.

#TimeTravelAuthors #Day9 I worked two summers as an interpretive ranger and volunteered two more just to learn more about my characters.

My wife’s drawing for today.

Drawing of a woman carrying a large pumpkin behind herself with a strained face. The words surrounding her are, “Just because I carry it well…doesn’t mean it’s not HEAVY.”

Probably due to the trip through iMovie, today’s timelapse wouldn’t attach to the previous toot, so here it is by itself. Why iMovie? Because I just had to include a surprise bonus soundtrack!

I feel your pain, Sisyphus.

I’m not really sure why, but my timelapse video refused to attach to this toot. Maybe because it isn’t straight out of Linea Sketch. It took a trip through iMovie for a surprise. Check it out in the next threaded toot.

While pushing his stone uphill for eternity, Sisyphus meets the inevitable obstacle of middle management.
