Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
No writing today, as we did some serious winter cleaning on closets, clothes drawers, and even hung some stained glass that has been sitting in a chest for about 15 years...
Just about to prepare our traditional fondue and play Feast for Odin!

Today's winter cleaning was getting rid of books we no longer wanted, which went fairly quickly. Wrote about 1300 words, split between the new Shifting Lands book and trying my hand at graphic novel writing for the first time.

Finished up chapter 3 and started on chapter 4 today, adding about 1350 words today. We also cleaned out the tea shelf. We, ah, have a lot of tea.

An entire kitchen counter filled with tea bags. They are in all shapes and sizes, mostly black tea, but with a mix of chai, rooibos, and herbal. The bags occupy about eight feet of courter space.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I think the cats got more presents than we did this year...
Doyle, a white and tan cat, sits in the middle of cat toys. Verne, a black and gray cat, sits behind him on a cat house. Verne, a black and gray cat, holds a new toy in his front paws, biting it while laying on the floor Verne, a black and gray cat, looks at the camera atop a cat house next to a new scratching post among a pile of new cat toys.
