I spent some time today making this DELICIOUS maple biscuit recipe from Blue Bowl Recipes. Definitely give it a try.

I've written all weekend. 1,015 words today. 2,219 total over the past few days, all on the one project. Plus a few hundred more on another. Best of all, I LIKE what I'm putting on the page!

I’ve fiddled with several projects the last few months. Mostly the same ones, a novel and several short stories but I’m working on all at once. Progress is slow, but it’s still progress. And that matters.

That said, 548 words on a short story today.

Happy Halloween!

Fable and Myth wish you all a spooky night and hope all the kids, young and old, get lots of candy.

Baked pasta for dinner tonight. I used Sharmis Passion's recipe. It came out well! Except, one little tip: don't overcook the pasta!

I never do that. Now I have.

In related news, I got home, fed the cats, and 5 minutes later Fable decided it was time for dessert. And what better than my newly purchased bag of KitKats!

Well, now that the bags open, I guess I need to take break. A KitKat break that is!

I picked up more Halloween candy I do NOT need.

Does anyone know if the combo bags of KitKats and Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are being sold this year?? Those are the best 2 candy combo bags. My grocery store isn't selling them! They have them individually and lots of others, but not those.

I'm back from vacation! Well, got back Sunday but cats haven't given me 5 minutes to myself til now. Here's some pics! I went to the Redwoods to see massive trees and old mansions, then Lake Tahoe, and even time traveled to the Old West to visit Virginia City. And a light show in there too.

Just a Poland Springs water bottle. Nothing special about it. I picked it up at a gas station on a 10 day New England road trip in September & October 2024.

Tonight I cleaned out my car in prep for the next road trip. I used it after getting home, then forgot about it. I still had it, a year later.

Dammit Fable! If you're hungry, then. Just. Eat!

Cat spent an hour tonight meowing at me and making a fuss. I tried playing with him, took him to his food bowl, tried all the things and... nothing. Finally, we tried the food again, he turned away and I stopped him. He ate and was happy. Ugh.

I finished writing an MG book in August & have been slowly transitioning to a new project. This is a YA/Adult fantasy, set at Christmas. I plotted out most of it last December and put it down for the MG novel. Now getting back to it.

About 1,300 words in the last 2 days.

I love history. I have a BA in it. I may have heard of the great, intentionally forgotten 19th century abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, but I can't remember. Now, I've added the new center dedicated to him in Lancaster, PA to my list of must visit places. I can't wait.

I got new sheets that actually fit my bed. It was SSOOO nice to sleep in a bed last night with sheets that fit! No needing to stretch them out tonight so there's not huge clumps of sheets here and there.

It's amazing how being good to yourself can make you feel so good.

Fable and Myth are on a cat tree together! This is pretty rare. My ginger tabby is a big, big boy. And my little girl, who's average size, doesn't like playing with him much.

Oddly, she's becoming rather dominant about food. He won't eat his evening wet food until she lets him.

Working on revising an old, old short story. I originally wrote it in 2011 and haven't touched it since. But I found it while looking for something else, and I found critique notes on the story with some positive feedback. So I've decided, what the heck, I'll revise it. I'm halfway now. Yay!

Fable is doing very well with his buttons. I hardly had to prompt him today! He got his reward, then immediately pushed the button for another. Yay!

Any day now, he's going to go over to the buttons and ask me for things. I won't have to go to the buttons first. Any day now...

Fifth day of teaching Fable to use @fluentpet.bsky.social talk buttons. He is very good motivated, so per FluentPet he's learning Treat, Food and Play as his first button words. He knows them all. But buttons...

He isn't pressing the buttons yet, but he is pawing at their bases.

Fable pressed the button! Several times!

He's mostly focused on the reward itself and not HOW to get the reward. But he's moving in that direction.

Myth hasn't joined in yet, but I'm sure she will. She's not so good oriented as Fable...

FYI, we're using @fluentpet.bsky.social.

Day 55

No writing on the MG novel today. Instead, I wrote a revised Ch 1 for the sequel to my previous MG novel. I meant to just put down a few notes, 3 or 4 paragraphs. I wound up with a complete 1k word scene. I like it way better than the 1st version.

Fable pressed a talk button! I've gotten him to the point of sniffing the buttons and brushing them with his mouth, but no actual presses yet. Until now!

It was just the one time, but it was his FIRST time!

I'm so proud of him.

Fable and Myth are learning to talk!

I received my FluentPet Basic Vocab Kit last night, and started today with Fable. I've always known he was smart. He hasn't pushed any buttons yet, but he already knows there's a connection between button and action.
