I decided to give myself a day off from writing, but still ended up doing about 400 words.

“I don’t know. I asked, “Who wants to help me with cookies?” and the next thing you know, the place is a mausoleum. Not that that’s bad normally.”

“What sort of cookies?”

Fester made a face. “I’m almost embarrassed to say.”

“You can tell me anything. I’m the Doctor.” He gestured to the TARDIS. “Besides, who am I going to tell?”

“Okay.” Fester kicked at the carpet with one foot and mumbled something.

“Come again, I didn’t quite catch that.”

“Sugar cookies.”

“But they are delightful!” At Fester’s crestfallen expression, The Doctor suddenly understood. “… and probably not something your family embraces normally.”

Fester shook his head. “They don’t understand. I don’t want to, but I can’t resist them.”

The Doctor threw an arm around Fester’s shoulders. “So, do you like think and crispy or thick and soft.”

“You like them, too?” Fester was gobsmacked.

“I do, indeed.”

“Would you… would you help me?”

Sometimes writing is like drawing teeth... Today's total is around 350 words. It could have been more if I hadn't kept distracting myself :)

Today I had an Enormous Walk - 16 miles with a bit of cycling tagged on each end. It was lovely, but I feel like I'm not as sore as I should be, and I'm a bit worried it's saving it all up for tomorrow.

I was so pleased yesterday about my sleeve progress, but now I've discovered that I'd done the second one all on the wrong size of needles, and had to go back to the start. They're only very small sleeves, but still...

141 words, mostly a bit functional to go round photos.

[Duddingston Loch] was also lovely - not at all a city view, with the Pentlands rising beyond - but the sun was so directly behind it that it didn't photograph very well.

I have managed to write up the second of my assignment pieces. Problem is, I have written 450 words (I was describing a moment in the life of a public figure I dearly love) and the piece is maximu 200....

Ouch.

Tomorrow, there will be serious cutting.

I spent an hour putting together a weekly post, then an hour and a half on the WIP.

I was thinking this week I'll use an hour of my morning reading with coffee time to work on my story before the busy-ness of Thanksgiving preparation has to get done each day.
Otherwise by the time I get my work done I won't be in the mood to write. It's Monday morning, I'm back-posting.
Rick is still in bed, and I'm ready to work on my story in the quite house. I am not sure if I can do any writing on Thursday, though.
