Time's flying...
Aug. 2nd, 2015 06:54 pm... when you're having fun. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
picowrimo's just ended two days ago and I'm already missing it. Those were two months of intense writing, exchange and companionship. I wish I had a writer's group somewhere, either in RL or online. I miss having the chance to discuss such stuff with similarly minded people.
Pico was very fruitful this summer. I've finished "Brothers-in-Arms" and "Terminus", made considerable headway with "A Matter of Time" and pushed "An Excellent Mystery" a bit forward, too. Yesterday I even dug out my original fantasy epos and typed up a tiny bit of it - by that speed, it will be posted to Fictionpress in half a century or so. And that without having rewritten the one-sixth in the middle that got lost.
I've picked up felt work this summer and had great delight in hand-sewing Christmas ornaments. I'm closing up to 50 pieces. The most beautiful ones will go to our Christmas tree, which promises to be spectcular this year, the rest I'll sell on the annual charity fair of our school in December. I'm planning to make Nespresso ornaments and embroidered cards with the kids, and perhaps even cork ornaments, should I get my hand on wine corks. I even brought a hot glue pistol!
Other than that, I'm just tired all the time. The heat wave is coming back next week, ruining the last few days of summer break, and then slave labour starts again. Too bad, I enjoyed so much being home, doing needlework, writing and occasionally cooking - I made Shepherd's Pie today, and Kaiserschmarrn mit Zwetschgengeröstl last week.
