W50. Last Lisbon stretch!

On the 20th we leave for Christmas holidays and a week later, onwards for tropical weather! I've mentioned this before, but my sweet spot of time being home is about three months. Now it's been over four and all I can think about is riding my scooter up and down the familiar roads, swimming in the warm ocean and waking up to the sound of birds. Ugh, I can't wait.

This week

... I'm focusing on client work, getting things done before Christmas.

... I'm reading Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. I really enjoyed Cleopatra & Frankenstein by the same author, but so far, I'm not convinced by this one. I'm reminded of another book that covered sisters, and it seems like writers often try a too hard to distinguish them from each other, creating a bit of a caricature? Most sibling groups I know have quite a bit in common with each other too. Not to forget that they are all epically successful, of course. But let's see where it goes!

... I'm looking forward to a few things!

• Co-hosting another Deep Talk Writing meetup at Kompis. This will be our third edition and it's so much fun nerding out about writing with other writers.
• Organizing Kompis Christmas Party, if enough people can make it.
• Probably start packing for our annual winter escape, because why not?

Last week

... I tried pottery for the first time! I will not be quitting my day job, but had a great time. We went to Disco Wheel, which is a whole experience and includes delicious wine (which may or may not assist in your creation). Worth checking out if you're in Lisbon!

... I finished Stacken by Annika Norlin and it was a fun read! Can't wait to have a discussion about it.

... I got back to work on my essay about masculine and feminine energies. It's taking shape, slowly. Love that everyone has an opinion on this topic when I bring it up.

... I went to the adventure park and did all the things! Including the bungyjump swing thing that was terrifying.

... Spotify Wrapped was released and to nobody's surprise, Sabrina Carpenter was my main obsession. Team Sabrina.

Happy Monday everyone, let's get to work!
