Hello, friends!

Today is it … the final day of TNT 2025. How did you do?

As far as your Weasel Wranglers™ are concerned, just by participating, you are a winner. Writing isn’t easy. It’s filled with joy and frustration and flow and … well, damn dams. Regardless of the outcome — regardless of where your story now stands — by engaging in the process, you are a writer.

Our plan was to celebrate at the Bluestocking Bookshop in Holland, Mich, this afternoon. But thanks to the winter storm and the heavy downfall along the lakeshore:

The TGIO sweater party is postponed.

Aimee (the delightful bookstore owner) will reschedule it.

Don’t forget: The Winter Writers’ Conference is still on for Saturday, January 17, from 9a to 3p at Jason’s Books & Coffee. A link and details will be out next week, as well as a survey asking Very Important Questions about TNT and WMAA for 2026 and beyond.

But until then: Cuddle up with a blanket, a beverage, and a pet. Grab your laptop. And use this day to finish TNT 2025 with enthusiasm!
