My original goal doing these pages was to write in here daily. Then life got in the way a couple days. It is frustrating but I am attempting to be understanding with myself. The way I see it, if I hit most days of the week I am doing really well. I am looking at past entries in this blog with a fine toothed comb. I have some ideas for how to approach continuing the serial stories. I found material to put up for the features dealing with the setting of my fantasy series. (Looking through old notebooks can be enlightening.)
I am going to restart writing recipes for the food of the world. I really like the concept of a cookbook for a fantasy setting that can be applied to our world. I have some experience cooking over a fire. If I had to, I could make an ok meal. It's just been a really long time since I've done it. Since my family doesn't go camping, I don't have an opportunity to rebuild those skills. I do, however, have a cookbook that includes directions for how to convert a recipe from one that requires a fireplace to cook it to one that uses an oven. I will be relying on that heavily as I experiment with recipes.
I want to do a better job of posting writing advice every week. That requires my effort to review all the topics I have covered before I start drafting out new material. It's going to be slow going on that project. In the midst of all of this, I am hoping to write a couple fantasy books this year and do major revisions on one that I published already in a different genre. I have a list of things I want to accomplish and I am trying not to put a ton of pressure on myself to get it all done as soon as possible. The world is stressing me out and I tend to default to pressuring myself to do all the things 'before it's too late.'
Bad habits and all that.
