When one door closes... you must run along the street banging on every door until someone lets you in.
Same with publishers. I need to start over--which SUCKS--but as a wise person told me, "this is the business".

I have 3 books and a WIP to home. Knock knock!

Or I could be like my cat... :)

Morning everyone, wherever you are in the world 😊🌍 Hope you're as happy as this little one!

Moment of beauty for today.

Also, it wouldn't be proper of me to post about my novella without also posting about my latest baking exploits.

Behold this thing of beauty! (So yum....)

X-posting across all my socials and realising there are a LOT now and I could barely handle twitter! 😬

Finally had a full weekend of no work and no thinking about work. And so I baked a thing that's going to feed me for a good long while.

I also got some words down 🤘

Love my Raucherman at Christmas.

It's Boxing Day and my Crone of the Forest is still smoking away - Christmas Market (Weinachtsmarkt) flavour 🎄☃️

Her little scythe 🥹.

I'll pack her away on NY Day until next year.

(Krampas photo bombing as is his want.) 😈

Best thing? I am actually plotting for a story while she does her good work 😁

For an author, I sure do post a lot of food pics... 'Tis the season, though. 🎄🎅🍷🖤

Christmas dinner prepped and ready for the oven. Roasting early as it's going to be 33° tomorrow (91.4 Fahrenheit). As soon as the oven goes off, the AC will go on 🥵

Christmas baking done.

The dark cookies aren't pretty, but they are choc (ha!) full of black tahini and dark chocolate. They are incredibly delicious and I think they will fuel my next story with sugary goodness. My pants, however, will not thank me 😋

Caveat: though they are in the photo, no black beans were used in the making of these unholy treats!

Mood.

Happy Christmas vibes for me - and I'm counting the days for my work brain to fuck off so I can get some real writing done over the break.

Madame is pretty happy about this development, too! 😁
