Welp, it's official. It's my first cakeday here on SG.

I stumbled across the site by accident last year and thought user oriented giveaways could be a pretty neat idea, so I created an account of course. I've mostly lurked rather than engaged as a whole, although, there were some exceptions such as showing gratitude or jumping into a topic I could relate with on occasion. It's been fairly chill and I enjoy seeing the discussions and events that take place here.

I think most can likely agree it's been a crazy year for various reasons. I myself lost a furry friend(profile pic) to a mix of pancreatitis and a tumor early this year. My other furry friend had a blood clot that reduced her kidney function to about 20% only a few months later. As someone that gets deeply attached to their animal friends and with the stressors of the pandemic madness mixed in, things have been a drag for me this year. Being able to participate in giving has been a sort of uplifting experience for me personally. Enough of the sob story though, right.

With that said, not all is bad. I work as a care provider and I can confidently say my clients and I are staying safe, secure, and healthy. I've got a new fluff-ball named Jack, who is a bit of a handful but quite lovable. I've also reconciled with some family who I never thought I'd connect with again too. The times really shape events in the strangest of ways.

I've also taken up writing. I've written on and off as a hobby over the years but never much more than that. It's a ton of work but I do quite enjoy the process. I've finally decided to attempt writing a novel - included in this attempt is to have it fully written, proofread, and published by 2022. What can I say? I want to be the first author in the family, even if it doesn't become a bestseller haha. I've got a few chapters pumped out so far but nothing ready to be consumed yet. It's a fantasy novel with a 'War of the Worlds' vibe but the idea is even more desolate and dreary. Hopefully next year I may have something to share with the community, more than a few games at least!

Games? Did he say games?! Yes, you read that correctly. After being subjected to my monologue I think you deserve a few GA's. It's not much but I'll be adding a small train for your time here shortly. Mostly bundled goods but perhaps something will catch your fancy. You will need to answer a horribly difficult question before gaining access though! Giveaways require contributor level 1 and end on December 6th, at 7:00pm PT. Thanks for reading and I hope you're all staying safe and well.

Hint: 1st cake is cool and all but, ___

Thanks for all the well wishes and encouragement~ I may not get a chance to respond to everyone but I am reading the replies.

Feel free to drop a bump if you're so inclined.

Thanks! I'm going to be baking a pie just this weekend; never been much of a cake person, myself. I am a writer, though, so I wish you luck with your novel.

Happy pieday! 🥳

I'm sorry for your loss 🥺 Furrbabies are the best, I'm sure Jack will be too. I LOVED War of the Worlds, so I hope all goes well with your novel so we get to read it as well 😌

Thanks! I was thinking to drop a snippet, maybe a chapter, as a sneak peek next pieday. We'll just have to see how the dice roll come next year. It's too early now and what I've written up may end up revised or changed depending on a few factors. Rough draft life!

Happy cake day!

Next year will be better!

Wish sucess to your novel, I remember some years ago I also had this goal (don't worry, not in english 😅), but I guess I didn't had the necessary discipline to do it.

The biggest hurdle I've had so far is staying motivated. It's a lot of work to stay focused on the developing world and characters. I have things I want them to do and experience but, keeping things detailed and imaginative is where the time consuming, tiresome writing comes into play. Thanks and I hope you'll find another creative spark in the future!

Happy Cakeday! Sorry for your loss. I lost a Furry friend as well this year but I still have 4 more. Wishing you the best with your novel and your fluff-balls.

Happy pieday lol = ) Thanks for the train.
Sorry to hear about your flurry friends. My family lost a cat friend last year and I myself lost a close friend just last month. That…really hurts, but I can still feel their love around, so I believe everything will be fine in the course of time.
