16. There all great but Tolkien's (and the Faerie Queen) are my faves. I like Legolas, but I he's not swoony in the books. Give me Galadriel's brothers: Fingolfin, Finrod.

17. Authors new to me this year: Nicola Morgan

18. Favorite holiday: can't choose, love them all!

I didn't have a single "request." I guess my characters aren't very polite. So, I used "summon."

And here's womans's size!!

This is from my favorite birthday card which says,
"If anyone tells you that your birthday do is too big. Get rid of them. You don't need that kind of negativity."

A bit late on my weekly #Cat and #Horse love. This is a repeat but so pretty it could be a holiday card.

I love it! Thanks for reposting.
And the laugh-your mom being the only like.
I,too, have posted and wondered how could it have such little effect. Such as this, I mean, what is that kitty thinking gazing into that big eye so solemly? What is it whispering to that horse?

The best writing tools, to me, are books. Read widely in your genre. Read editor Cheryl Klein's Second Sight for pacing, paragraph structure. The hilarious Eats Shoot and Leaves for basic sentence skills. When stumped, get away, take a walk outside, breathe, be reinvigorated.

Hubby & I are reading at the Spooky Day of Reading (book character costumes) at the school our daughter teaches. I'm dressing as Piggy. He's Elephant (see pic) Tonight, we drag our firepit into the front yard while we hand out candy to the hordes. (We live close to a major street.) Very fun!
