It’s Monday of Thanksgiving week, aka Day One of cook ALL THE THINGS! It takes me four days to prepare everything. Today was desserts, and there are now a pumpkin pie and apple pie bars in my refrigerator, and cashew milk ice cream in my freezer. Tomorrow will be mulled cranberry sauce and the sweet potatoes. Wednesday is going to be a DAY — I start out with a dentist appointment. When I get home, it’ll be time to prep the brine for one turkey breast, and the chili rub for the other. I’ll get the brussel sprouts prepped (roast them. Trust me on this. If you roast them, they’re SO GOOD!) And on Thursday, while the turkey is in the oven, I’ll make the salt potatoes and the stuffing (box mix from Katz.)
Too much food? Nah….
And in the meantime, I’ll be working on King of Swords. I’m writing in reverse at the moment — I don’t like the scene I was working on. The timing is off, so I need to backtrack and figure out where it went off the rails and fix it. It’s not a big deal, really. It’s all part of the process. Sometimes, your daily wordcount is in the negative, and that’s fine.
I’m also prepping for a special Holiday sale. From December 2 to the 7th, Stuff With Fantasy is doing a December Dash promotion, where you can buy signed books directly from indie authors (like me!) I’m already set up with a 25% off coupon on my signed book site for those dates. I’ll post the coupon code to my socials over the weekend.
Back to writing backwards.
Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone!
