The beginning of a year can arrive with more weight than ceremony. After a long stretch away from regular work, this is a modest return: a place to gather attention, follow the thread of a story, and begin again at a humane pace.
The past season brought personal losses, changes in health, travel, and unfinished work that needed care. None of these experiences asks for a grand conclusion. They ask instead for patience, for room to adjust, and for a gentler rhythm in which creative practice can resume.
For the weeks ahead, Tw Fantasy returns to its central concerns: folklore, fairy tales, visual imagination, and the steady craft of making. There will be time for reading, research, and small discoveries from the resource.
May the year ahead offer calm days, good health, sustaining stories, and enough quiet to notice what is beginning to grow.
