Holiday over
Tomorrow, I return to work :(
It's been a good break and I got lots done, although my to-do list isn't as empty as I hoped due to extra dog-walking duties.
I have written about 17,000 words of the sequel to Wolves of Cascade and I can't post about it! Or, not much more than the word count anyway, since I haven't yet posted Wolves. I don't think I can mention stuff about this new story without spoiling the first. You know, if I can write enough of this sequel in the next few months I may post Wolves anyway, and put its sequel in for the Big Bang instead. Oh, but that would mean no beta, which is bad. Why do I always get this itch to post when I know it's not really ready? I just want to share!
Anyhow, the sequel is title-less just now which is also annoying as a title does help me focus. It wasn't until I titled Wolves that the plot really came into focus for me. The sequel is fairly focussed already, at least plot-wise, but a title would help.
In other news - I need to start planning my baking for Sis's birthday. She's hard to please. I guess chocolate is a safe-ish bet, but what to do? Brownies are tasty but don't look very impressive. Last year I did whoopie pies, and the year before choc-hazelnut cupcakes.
I'm also itching to try something with lavender. I'm not sure why. I don't even have any (yet) but I saw this recipe for lavender shortbread and it looked so yummy! I started looking around and found lavender recipes for all sorts of things - sweet and savoury. Even one for bread (though that was with lavender honey; not quite the same thing). I just really love the idea.
