Wintery Tuesday

The view outside my window looks awful wintery! I like this weather, though, with the naked trees against a backdrop of grey, blustery sky. I could do without the cold, but aesthetically November pleases me. I'm one of those people who should have been born in a cottage on a moor and kept a tame crow as a pet or something. Flocks of sheep would somehow be involved as well, and violent thunderstorms. Might as well throw an evil landlord in there too. Perhaps I have the start of my next novel...

I've been busy with all sorts of creative projects, which has been very satisfying! Unfortunately I can't share pictures or even details yet as most of these projects will be given as gifts. That reminds me though...I should take photos to share once it's past the time of spoiled surprises.

HP has been pushed aside for most the semester (each year I underestimate the time/energy teaching takes...plus the election has consumed a lot of my attention!), but I've scheduled the weekend after Thanksgiving as my own mini writing retreat! Goal: finish revising horrible middle section. Prediction: Success. Dave has made a pledge to keep me focused, no matter what excuses for procrastination I may invent.

Have a good week....eat some soup or something!
