I baked bread tonight. They aren’t my prettiest loaves, but hopefully they’ll taste just as good.

Time to unwind and watch A Muppet Christmas Carol

Debating if I should break out some of the cranberries I froze at Thanksgiving and make sauce for dessert tonight. One of my favorite things to eat, and I’m planning to buy and freeze a few more bags by the end of the month anyway

I rented several Christmas romance novels and mysteries via Libby. Can I read them all before New Year’s Day? Well, I’m going to try

BB was chewing on my outline notes for Then Face to Face, the last book in my YA fantasy trilogy. We’re on the same page (pun unintended): it’s time to put away the outline and dive back into drafting. My MO is worrying about structure, etc. in subsequent drafts

Time to listen to The Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack and get some cleaning done

My sis and I watched Encanto today. It was my first time seeing it. I adored it, and I’ve already listened to “Surface Pressure” about a dozen times tonight

Late Thursday night, I finally got around to baking our cake: lemon coconut with vanilla buttercream from The Nightmare Before Christmas Baking Cookbook. It came out better than last time

Obi just took a flying leap and grabbed the middle of our Christmas tree, and the whole thing toppled. Thankfully, we haven’t decorated it yet. I’m almost crying laughing, it was like slow-mo

It’s 6 a.m. and Obi is yodeling the song of his people

The past couple days, I read over act one of the last book of my YA fantasy trilogy and took notes. Today, I’ve done some brainstorming for act two (knowing largely how act three ends). I think I want to take more notes before diving back into drafting.

It’s bittersweet… 1/2

I’m pretty sure Artoo thinks Obi is her pet

BB is finishing The Phantom Menace with me. R2-D2 and C3PO’s meeting for the first time always gets to me

Tomorrow, it’s time to dive back into drafting Acio’s third and final book in my YA fantasy series, as well as to read over the first draft of the third book in my adult sci-fantasy trilogy so I can start taking notes for the rewrite
