Hey Holly, I enjoy hearing your reflections, as always. Drinking really is entwined in so much of socializing. I pulled the Eight of Cups the other day for a character, and I've been thinking about it ever since. It made me think about sunk costs and strategic quitting and how it's hard to walk away from something we've poured so much of ourselves into even if it's no longer working . Glad to hear you're prioritizing working on your book.
This was really great to read. Doing hard things sucks. There's no easy way to do it and the benefits are usually slow to come and realize. Glad you're being open about this so we can support you in your goals! Also, so happy you're prioritizing your novel.
Thanks, Bryon. I'll say one thing—the writer's cons are going to be a bit different this year if I stop drinking. But to be honest I drink a lot less than I used to anyway and the cons are still loads of fun.
Making fantastic progress on my revision. I'm loving the story and that makes it a lot easier to get the work done.

The Eight of Cups is definitely a thought-provoking card!
