Animal Attraction has been Klausner’ed, and overall it’s a good review, although I’m not sure where the number 13 came from. Maybe the pack grew when I wasn’t looking. Nice to see reviews popping up for it!

 I baked cinnamon rolls last night, realized it was the fourth baking project in less than a week, and that for me, baking is a comfort activity. I like the smell of fresh bread, I like fresh-baked cookies, and it’s a creative activity that doesn’t involve words which is a nice change of pace. It involves smells and texture and flavors. I always experiment, adding to and altering the recipe to suit. 

Sometimes there’s nothing you can do to move forward at a given time, so fill the time with something that moves YOU forward. If nothing else, a comforting activity that pleases the senses can be a gift and a way to refill the well. Writing should be full of textures and flavors, and filling your life with them is a good start.
