Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related: I'm making headway on Garrett's story. It's taking me so much longer to write this book than I originally anticipated. I keep telling myself even a few pages a day is progress and is bringing me closer to the end.

Motivational Quote:  "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt 

What I'm Reading: I started reading A Garland of Bones by Carolyn Haines over the weekend.  This is the 22nd book in the series. There are a total of 29 books published so far so I'm getting closer to the end so to speak, at least until the next book is published. 

Random Things:  It's finally been cold enough to do some baking. I made semolina bread for the first time this past Thursday. It has a tangy taste, not quite as strong a sourdough, but enough to notice. I will make it again, but I think I'll bake it in a loaf pan instead of on a baking sheet that the recipe calls for. The dough didn't rise as high as I would have liked, rising in width instead so I'm hoping it will rise higher in a loaf pan.

Quote of the Week: "Tomorrow is now." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

What I'm Reading: I'll be starting Hot Pursuit by Julie Ann Walker tonight. I've read the first 10 books in the series by borrowing them from the library, but for some reason My local library doesn't have a copy of this book so I purchased it.my local library doesn't have a copy of this book so I purchased it. I was looking forward to reading the main male character's story, but now I'm a bit worried I won't like it due to some things that happened in the last book. I hate when I buy a book and end up not liking it or even worse, not finishing it.

Random Thoughts:  One of my nephews is getting married this weekend. One of my nieces or nephews has gotten married every year for the last three years. I'm starting to feel old.
