I’m writing this on my deck in the middle of a lovely cloudy day off which I’ve dedicated to catching up on my writing. So just time for a brief recap of the week (yes, I stole that line.)

Yes, please.

We need to stop asking women writers these questions.

I have yet to do either of these things, but I love this analogy.

They should just put me in charge of these things.

And no link here, just a plea for help: what do you do when your skin suddenly gets horribly dry?

Reading: This, finally, and I’m only about a quarter of the way in but so far, I dare say, I think it’s better than the first.

Writing: Finally got my YA fantasy under control. Finally at the First Plot Point (Antagonistic forces fully comes into play, defining the goal, stakes, and obstacles for the protagonist; first time the meaning and implication of antagonistic events are seen.) I just need more time to work on it.

Watching: Finished this and am having withdrawal. I think this place needs to be in my not-so-distant travel plans.

Listening to: the same stuff I always am. I really need to expand my horizons.

Cooking: This is SO GOOD.
