Moderate success

For the first time in three weeks or so, I finally managed to write a little yesterday. Not very much, only a few paragraphs for "An Excellent Mystery", but at least the dry spell seems to have ended... or is running out anyway. Now that I've finally got my new "Brother" printer/scanner/photocopier thingy - which takes up an entire corner of my small study - I can print out research results at home again, which I wasn't be able to do in the last two years, so the story might move on again.

Wish me luck. It is supposed to be done in two or three more chapters, and I'd really like to see it finished.

Other than that, I'm still steadily posting old stuff to AO3, including stories that were only available on LJ previously, so the last three weeks weren't entirely wasted, either.

Aren't they cute?

I'd like to make petits-fours like these one day. I'm afraid, though, that that day is still in the distant future.



These would be nice, too:



Or these:



They are all so cute - and there are hundreds of other versions, all of which are waaay beyond my modest skills, unfortunately. *sigh*
