Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: Still working on revisions for Ivan's story. I feel like I made good progress. If I can keep on track, I should have it ready for one last look by my beta readers by the end of March.

Motivational Quote:"Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages." ~ George Washington

What I'm Reading: I'm reading A Call for Kelp by Bree Baker. This is the fourth book in the Seaside Cafe mystery series. 

Random Things: For some reason the picture of my S'mores cookies didn't publish along with my blog post last week so I'm reposting it again. Hopefully it will work this time.

Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: I got quite a bit accomplished on Ivan's story. I feel like I'm finally getting back on track. Still a tiny bit behind where I want to be, but am happy with the progress I've made.

Motivational Quote: "To succeed, you must have tremendous perserverance, and tremendous will.~ Swami Vivekananda

What I'm Reading: I started Tide and Punishment by Bree Baker last night. It's the third book in the Seaside Cafe mystery series. I'm really enjoying this series. I've put the next 3 books on hold at my local library. I was a little sad to hear the last book in the series will be published at the end of March.

Random Things: I may be an adult, but I still like to eat S'mores in the summer. Since the temperatures been hovering around 25 to 32 degrees the last few days, I decided to try a recipe for S'mores cookies I found a few days ago. They gave me a tiny reminder that summer will be here soon...but not soon enough. 😄

Writing Related: I didn't get much accomplished on Ivan's story. I had a couple of appointments after work and then had to go buy a new washing machine when ours died suddenly. I had a repair person come by to look at it, but he stated it wasn't worth the cost to repair it. It is between twelve and fifteen years old so I guess it was time to get a new one. 

Motivational Quote:  "We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.  Considering my lack of progress in getting the revisions for Ivan's story done the last couple of weeks, this quote seemed fitting.

What I'm Reading: I started reading No Good Tea Goes Unpunished by Bree Baker last night. This is the second book in the Seaside Cafe mystery series.

Random Things: I tried a new recipe for gingerbread chocolate chip cookies on 2/6. They are completely addictive. I made another batch this past weekend. The recipe only makes 2 dozen cookies which is just enough for us to eat throughout the week. They are so good, I'm thinking of doubling the recipe, but then I'll probably eat more of them than I should.
