That’s a wrap

Well, that’s another novel wrapped up. The first draft, anyway. 100,587 words and 499 pages. This one is Book Two of the epic fantasy series I was talking about. The one that I stopped writing in 2004 and finally got back to last year.

I had thought the series would be about five books, but it’s looking like one more book will finish it. I hope so. I’m not very interested in writing this kind of story anymore, I just want to get it done so I can get it off my mind.

Diecast and Die Hard

The diecast dump truck I ordered for my great nephew Ezra was finally delivered. I was afraid I wouldn’t have a gift for him on Christmas Day. I thought I would wrap one of the diecast cars from my collection to give him if the dump truck didn’t make it here.

Now that all the gifts I ordered are here, I guess I’ll spend the rest of today wrapping them. It’s a good thing I DVRed the Charlie Brown Christmas special last year, because it no longer airs on regular TV. I thought I would watch that while wrapped, but looking at the list of recordings, I see I also DVRed Die Hard last year, on Christmas Eve. So, that’s what I’m going to watch.

Pizza!

Today my friend Jill shared a meme about the religion of pizza. Since seeing that meme, I haven’t been able to get pizza off my mind. The picture is from DoorDasher Jacob.

New Spices

I really loaded up on groceries tonight. I should be good for a while. While at the store, I grabbed five containers of spices. One of them is Garlic Pepper. I like what it did to the chicken I just cooked.
