with nutmeg, of course

Oh holidays, how you distract me from blogging with your ridiculous music and wool sweaters and delicious treats! How you seduce me with your egg nog and turkey and egg nog ice cream and molasses cookies and have I mentioned egg nog?

Yes, the holidays are here, and this year seems particularly jolly (maybe I am jolly because I'm not yet buried in snow…I suppose we'll find out come January). Anyhow, I'm trying to drink in the spirit of the season while still thinking about my book, in the hopes of keeping that process going. I've been trying out different ideas that have fallen flat – maybe that means I'm getting closer to the good stuff? Here's hoping. I may as well be optimistic. And drink egg nog.
