Write Every Day, Day #9

[auroracloud]

I've been pretty tired today, so I've mostly just been lazing about my home, reading, writing, and such. Of course, in the evening I decided to start baking, and now I'm still waiting for the last batch of biscuits to come out of the oven. They were supposed to be just a quick thing to make after my bread rolls, but I forgot how much dough that recipe makes.

I still don't seem to master those biscuits which you bake by making big dough balls, flattening slightly, and then putting them into oven where they're supposed to spread into those big American-style cookies. I made some raisin blobs again. Well, nearly - then I just forced them to flatten halfway before they were done, and just made the next batch flat straight out. I'm seeing how the last ones turn out... (Very blobby so far, I must say.)

Today's Writing

This was quite an active writing day, actually! Besides some research reading, I brainstormed / wrote character notes for almost 900 words. And later I wrote 366 new words on a genprompt_bingo fic (one that's actually gen!). Besides, I wrote in my diary about yesterday's nature outing, and I'm thinking of using that for my next travel writing assignment, as we're supposed to do that soon again with my friend. So the diary writing also counts as preparation for that, as I'll probably partly base it on my diary entry, though I'll also see how to make it more travel-writing-like.

How was your writing?

I was even busier today than I was yesterday! Along with lots of errands, I went to a neighborhood BBQ party, where I spent almost five hours, getting home after 8:00. And it was hot, though the host had an amazing network of umbrellas and awnings. I crashed as soon as I got home, then woke up two hours later and wrote. I'm hoping this isn't going to turn into a habit!

Anyway, I wrote 660 words on a book review.

Sounds very tiring indeed, no wonder you crashed when you got home! Hope things cool down and calm down soon. Congrats for getting any writing done on such a day! I haven't properly written about books in a while.
