Here is to writing!

I've actually finished Christmas Gift Fic #3 today! What's more, by doing so I actually managed to unblock Precious Like Rubies that has been on the back burner for a couple of years. I've written myself into a corner with that one a bit — mostly because I tried too hard to follow Sherlock Holmes canon — but now, by writing this short vignette the solution (and one I'd never have thought of) has simply come to me. I believe I'll eventually use this gift fic as the epilogue of the actual story!

(Apologies to picowrimo members who're going to see this news twice.)

Other than that, I made a food run, packed away the dried washing, cooked lunch and generally lazed around for the rest of the day. A good chunk of that time was spent watching the Great German Bake-Off - it was good to watch other people slaving over the hot oven for a change.

And now I'll have to pick up everything that might be in the way of tomorrow's scheduled cleaning and put them in high places. *sigh*
