The write stuff

Well here they are, my rendition of a cupcake featuring ginger - in this case gingerbread cupcakes! I thought they turned out pretty good. I added 1/2 a cup more milk than I was supposed to and yet they managed to turn out fairly good texture wise. The flavour is a lot like gingerbread (with a few extra helpings of ginger) and the icing is a cream cheese icing.

All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy......................................................... Like my crazy friend from the Shining I too need to do more than work. I have just overcome the dreaded week 2 doldrums that have crippled many a fellow NaNoer. In week 2 the little voice starts to pop up in one's mind. You all know the voice. The inner critic that tells you that trying to write 50,000 words in one month is ludicrous and that even if you do manage it your novel will be of poor quality. Perhaps your story doesn't matter all that much. Thank goodness for the wise words of those who have overcome this inner critic and wrote because writing is what writers do!

I'm glad because some of my experiences at other clubs came close to turning me off dancing altogether. After a fun evening, we picked up PJ and headed back to Angie's place. Since we were hungry and still wide awake we made nachos and watched a scary movie. T
