This Inktober I've set myself a challenge: depict each prompt inside separate 2-inch squares, using nothing but the letters of that word.

I can offer no explanation for this self-imposed madness other than I've noticed I work better inside constraints than when faced with infinite possibilities.

Last year I made it to day 20, let's see how 2026 goes!

I use a hot water bottle 5 months of the year on the east coast of Australia. No way would I want to experience a Canadian winter!

:boost_request:

My sister is looking for someone who wants to help her practice her Danish speaking skills (she's level B1 and a bit out of practice). She's looking for someone to have casual conversations with maybe once a week. Are there any creatures on fedi interested in helping her out? In exchange she could for example help out with Polish or English speaking practice.

EDIT: we've found someone, thank you all so much for your help <3

The footnote to my life now reads: "being a writer is a life sentence."
