So on Monday evening, the sky decided to present us with this:
A rainbow to the east and a sunset to the west!
I’ve been decidedly in bread machine mode with book two (The Marigold Miracle). I’ve been reviewing the draft—slowly—making notes, and then letting everything simmer or churn or do whatever it is my brain does when I’m not paying attention.
It’s nice to really embrace and refine my bread-machine way of writing. I already have some (what I hope are) nifty ideas for draft two. When I wrote the original draft, I knew that the initial scenes would not be the first scenes of the book. But, at the time, I simply needed a way into the story and those scenes worked for that.
It’s not flashy, but I’m pleased with this progress. I’ve also made a dent in all those Photoshop tutorials as well this week. And since the air quality here is awful and I’m stuck inside, that’s what I’m going to do next.
Writing Wrongs 
Of course you know: the time that the flour, yeast, and honey spend developing the rise in the bread machine — that’s where the magic occurs and the most complex flavors begin to develop. The time you spend thinking about a story is a gift to the story… and your readers!
You’ve had a lot of sky drama recently — great pictures!
