Writing vs. Baking Cookies
I know I'm supposed to keep going on with my NaNo book this month, working steadily toward my goal of 50,000 words by December 31. But, it is at a stand-still. My novel has been sitting at 30,016 word for the past eleven days.
I blame the season. My novel-writing time has been set aside in favor of holiday baking, get-togethers, kids' music practice and concerts. The list goes on. But I love this time of year. I love the music, the fellowship, the fun, even the craziness to a point.
And I love baking and sharing my treats. Yesterday I made ginger snaps and fudge. This weekend maybe the kids and I will make some cut-out cookies or chocolate dipped pretzels. Or both!
Maybe I'll make time for working on my novel too. But, more important is sharing the joy of the Christmas season with my family. Sappy, I know. But true.
