It's been an exciting week at SFWA, as we roll out our new membership login system, the Ballot, and other benefits. Site Gremlins abound! But with your assistance during soft launch, we're zeroing in on The Final Form. This is also why we're on the campaign with Winter Worlds of Giving - to improve our ability to answer challenges like this going forward. If you've donated: thank you. If you signal-boosted, thank you again. https://sfwa.org/winter-worlds-of-giving

#5: LONELY | MOUNTAIN

Some roads grew lonely without company, so the Custodian tried to visit them all.

But the mountain path was such a gossip! The Custodian nodded politely when it cast aspersions on the riverside trail and the tunnel in the sky.

Best to keep out of forest politics, if one could.

Now begins the weekend in earnest! Who has writing goals? 👀 And are you braving yours alone, or in good company?

The SFWA Office will reopen December 1. We look forward to wrapping up this last month of 2025 in strength and solidarity with all of you.

"Beguiling Tower"

The artistry, architecture and strength drew many to the tower despite the dire warnings against approaching the structure.

Of those that neared the beguiling edifice, a few entered though none ever left so enchanted were they, and many a tale was told of their demise.

Whether you're breaking bread with loved ones in this realm or another today, we hope the experience either fills your heart in just the right way, or... gives you great material for your next WIP. 🫠 No crumb of good storytelling left behind!

The Custodian didn't like the look of that tower. They'd seen beguiling staircases before, and this one seemed too good to be true.

So they sat at the base, trying to figure out where the trap had been set on the route.

And fell down the trap door sprung for those who wait.

One adjective, one location. The rest is up to you! 👀

We're currently rehousing soot sprites at the closed SFWA Office (you wouldn't BELIEVE how many gather over the year, and how much they enjoy tea parties on Airship Nebula).

👀 What are you working on today, #WritingCommunity?
