#writelifeapril Day 27: #tbt Trunked Novels! SNOW LIKE ASHES was, for a few years, a trunked novel. These are a few of the manifestations it underwent on its way to being the more coherent version you know today.

(Who’s Duncan? Hannah’s husband. For those who’ve read SLA, and are thinking a certain question right now, yes.)

(Startin’ with a dream sequence. Nice, Past Sara. Nice.)

#writelifeapril Day 25: Book Outside Your Genre. I have a whole folder of retired YA contemp/paranormal manuscripts. They shall never see the light of day, because they contain many, many cheesy lines such as this.

There’s a reason I only do fantasy.

In this always crazy industry, it’s important to have people who keep you sane. Or, better, people who go crazy with you.

Kristen, we’re crazy together but at least we have those tiny boxes from The Container Store cuz that’s really all you need in life.

Took a break from making macarons to bake something that wouldn’t make me talk aggressively at my oven - meringues! The far less temperamental cousin of macarons! Almond Chocolate chewy gooey goodness.

2 egg whites (room temp)

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

1/3 c sugar

1 tbl cocoa

¼ tsp almond extract

½ c chocolate chunks

Whip egg whites til foamy. Add cream of tartar. Whip til soft peaks. Slowly add sugar. Whip til stiff peaks. Add cocoa and almond. Drop by spoonful onto parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, rotate, 10 more minutes, turn off oven and let sit in slowly cooling oven for an hour. Finish by EATING ALL OF THEM BECAUSE THEY’RE EGG WHITES SO THEY’RE HEALTHY BECAUSE YOU NEED YOUR PROTEIN YOU GROWING PERSON YOU. #baking #meringues #chocolate
