I have a few fics that are set for reveals this weekend, so I did about an hour of reading over and editing yesterday. I added a few words here and there, maybe about 200, but mostly I just fixed stuff I had already written.

skargasm, today is your day! I hope you are already hard at work, but if not, then I wish you all the luck and the words!

Well, I've gone down with another cold so today was not going to be particularly productive.

I did write about 4000 words yesterday. I present another form of creativity - I made matching beanies for my nephew, his fiancee and their two daughters.

And because you guys enjoyed the previous photo, here is my youngest daughter (20) wearing the hat and infinity scarf set I made for her!

Passing the daily challenge to Dreamy and off to take some more Sudafed and maybe read a book! Next hat and scarf combo are for me!
