Well. I wrote 1,475 words today, but I only got to keep 900 of them, bringing the WIP to 106,725. More or less.
The curtains are down in Steve’s office and have taken up their temporary role as dustcovers. Firefly emphatically does not approve of this development.
Boy, am I glad I cleared this with the committeecat first.
In other news, my yeast is dead and I’m unhappy. I took it into my head to bake a cheese loaf, only it didn’t rise. My yeast, living in the freezer, is God She knows how old. However! the back-up yeast has a sell-by in 2021. I feel in my heart that I should just buy a new bag of yeast and not even try the back-up bag.
I still wanted cheese bread, though, so I made cheese muffins, which are cooling as I type.
I have some notes to write re the WIP, and then it will be Coon Cat Happy Hour.
I will therefore take this opportunity to bid everyone a good night. Stay safe. I’ll look in tomorrow.
You could always proof your yeast. (mix the yeast, warm water, and a pinch of sugar. If it is fizzing after five or 10 minutes, then it is alive.)
On another subject, how would you feel about marking the books that you have read that you particularly enjoyed? I like your work so much that it seems likely I would also enjoy those books that you enjoyed, but then I realized that I only know which books you have read, and not which books that you particularly enjoyed (except for rereads and occasional comments about books being thrown against the wall).
I could proof my yeast. But I probably won’t.
Continuing a theme, I feel…uninclined to mark the books I read that I “particularly enjoyed.”
My friend (now long gone, RIP) used to buy her yeast from a local bakery. Guaranteed fresh, always made fabulous bread.
