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?

They were supposed to be just a quick thing
Heh, don't I know that so well! Sometimes I have still a batch of jam or canning to make, postpone it during the day because I'm too tired (while planning to go to bed earlier) and then start so late with it that I'm working or waiting for something to be done well into the small hours... two days ago, I made soy milk at one in the morning because the beans had already been soaking longer than they were supposed to... *ahem*
Congrats for being so productive, food- and word-wise! *\O/*
I finally managed to get some urgent gardening down, despite my cough still being bad - but it's already more than late to plant the tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes out we bought already four weeks ago, and for various reasons it didn't happen before. But now they're all in their nice, new, homes, or at least bigger pots, and can continue to thrive. There's already one tiny tomato at one "bucket" variety I haven't tried before. Thankfully I managed to get some writing done before that, for I spent the evening dead on the sofa after the gardening! *g* 774 new words, some for the crazy crossover, some for a longish blog entry, and another hour or so of editing the joint story project. I'm quite satisfied with the day!

Hope your cough calms down soon and you aren't too tired from the gardening. Nice that you managed to get in some writing as well as the gardening. :-) Don't exhaust yourself too much after the cold, though!
