lydamorehouseRachel and I published our next episode last Thursday to the School of Wayward Demon's site: "Aftershocks Run Deep."
Check it out. We're pretty deep into the story now and a lot of the ensemble cast is really starting to show off their personalities and the world around them is deepening. It's that part of the story that starts to feel lived in.
In other news, Shawn and I spent the day yesterday baking. Shawn likes to get ahead of the holidays by baking cookies and freezing half of them. so we have lots of nosh around for our Thanksgiving guests, and stuff set aside for Christmas. We made biscotti, honey caramels, and sand tarts (a kind of butter-sugar cookie cut-out, but with an egg-wash which makes them kind of chewy in a really yummy way.) Then, because Mason is a fan of it, we made steak for dinner and I baked homemade bread. So pretty much the oven was on and the kitchen was busting all day.
Today we're starting to do the holiday cleaning and all of that.
I'm finished with my Yuletide assignment, but I haven't posted it yet because I'm still not sure about the voice of it. So, I'm letting it sit for a while and then I'll re-read to see how it "sounds."
I also did a really fun back-and-forth via email interview with Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith, the authors of a new YA dystopian novel called, Stranger that will eventually be published on Gay YA. I'll post a link here when that happens.
Otherwise, I'm fighting off a headache which I blame on this really weird, warm weather we're having....
