I have no idea what I'm doing here, but screw it! We're doing NaNo this year after a ten year break ( Read more... )

Hat #1 is finished. I should get started on Hat #2, but instead I'm doing some very brief research on eastern coastal towns with a population less than 500 people and seaside cottage floor plans. I don't even have main character names yet, but I'm very much in love with the imaginary town and the house that most of the story is going to be taking ( Read more... )

Just spent the weekend knitting a hat. I'm still not done with it. The good news is that I'm on Round #6 of forming it and I haven't messed up the ssk or the k2tog stitches like I thought I would (I have odd fears of stitches slipping off needles and hours of work being reduced to a big pile of pulled out yarn.

My incentive to finish tonight is so I can post up the edited version of Someone Like You and then go back and heavily edit what I have here to start posting that. My incentive to actually finish this story I'm working on is so I can finally repost the edited version of A Rush to the Start, which ( Read more... )

Downloading the entire soundtrack of Dragon Age: Origins onto Ziggy isn't procrastination. Spending the entire day making two batches of fudge, several batches of brownies, a big pot of beans and a tall stack of homemade tortillas for other people isBut we now have puff pastry defrosting in the fridge along with a big wheel of Brie to bake ( Read more... )
