After stressing, stewing, floundering, pondering, designing, writing, shelfing, writing, scrapping, and unscrapping, Houston I have a story! I spent a day working on one idea, but realized that I needed to do more research to finish it, so I put that project on the shelf and went in a different direction. I spent another day taking a MG WIP and whittling it down to a PB. At the end of the day, I decided to scrap the whole project. By sunrise the following day, I resolved to make it work and it is! I am immensely satisfied with how it's going given the rocky start. I've been hyped up trying to keep an eagle eye on the word count with books like Lightship and Wolfsnail in mind. Yesterday, I found
Donna Bowman Bratton's post that made me relax about the number of words in a NF PB. Although I've been focusing on being concise, chopping it down too far would be an injustice to the topic.
I made this last week. Guys may need to eat about seven of them, but hey, it was a fast healthy dinner.
I'll be Hungry in an Hour Wrap
Roasted veggies - cut up pieces of pepper, onion, squash, and eggplant drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with pepper, oregano, basil (or whatever spice you like) and a touch of sea salt then roasted at 400 degrees until done (15-20 min)
Wraps
Hummus
Spread hummus on wrap, top with roasted veggies and roll em' Danno.
These photographs were taken at Bigelow Hollow State Park. We snowshoed on frozen Bigelow Hollow Pond, but at one spot it was slushy and ice stuck to the bottom of the snowshoes making them much heavier. At the park, a blue sheet of paper listed the trails and distances. It was missing one piece of valuable information--the distance was ONE WAY! Daylight disappeared fast in that park because the sun went down behind a dense pine ridge. We turned back on a 2.9 miler because there simply wasn't enough daylight. The needles on the pine saplings in the top photo were so light and feathery in contrast to the rest of the forest.
