Bonus Random Weekendity
Nov. 8th, 2015 01:13 pmYesterday I went to a fabulous reading by Kate Elliott at Borderlands Books where she did a dramatic (very dramatic) reading of her "Beatriciad" (a story from the Spiritwalker series written in iambic pentameter and…well, there's nothing except to experience it for yourself). And because I fell in with the right friends at the reading, I got included in the dinner plans afterward, which was delightful. There was also BART drama on the trip over, but all came out well in the end.
Today I woke to the same chilly house that has been reminding me all week to clean out the heater vents and turn the thermostat on. Plus bonus rain! So I decided to get a cheery fire going in the fireplace just because. Of course, this meant I couldn't leave the house for my usual coffee-and-writing session. But that was ok, because I baked up some croissants in order to try out the two pots of home-made jam that arrived on my doorstep yesterday (part of the Kickstarter rewards for the Hugo Long-List Anthology project).
And now that the cheery fire has burned itself out, I need to get started on at least one project for the day. Ideally, two: getting the heater in order and finishing at least one of the two chapters of Mother of Souls I have partially drafted for the week. Who knows, I might finish up both chapters if I get moving.
