Idea Vote

It's my favorite day of the year! Ha. Today I'd like to know which of the twelve ideas of Christmas you'd like me to write first in 2020. I plan to get to all of these ideas eventually, btw, so however the vote turns out your pick will likely make it to the page.

To review the choices one more time, here they are (and click on them if you want to read the original idea post for each one):

1. Falling, featuring Kyan and Melanie from Twilight Fall.

2. Chrysalis, the love story between Éliane Selvais and Richard Tremayne from the original Darkyn series.

3. The Inheritance, a haunted house story.

4. Castling, an epic fantasy novel based on chess.

5. The Moonrise paranormal romance trilogy featuring Ethan and Nathan Jemmet, Valori Trovatella and the residents of Frenchman's Pass from Frostfire.

6. Her Majesty's Deathmage, the third novel in the Disenchanted & Company steampunk AH series.

7. Executive Pleasures a non-traditional steamy menage/office romance.

8. Haunted House Style, the sequel to Ghost Writer.

9. Possession, a paranormal story about a reluctant exorcist.

10. Taken by Night, a near-future SF novel about shape-shifters.

11. The third Youngbloods YA vampire novel.

12. Black and White, a dystopian story.

Let me know your choice in comments. In the event there is no clear majority (after all, only five people know about this blog) I'll put all the suggestions in a hat and let my guy pick one.

Can I vote for two? The Inheritance or Haunted House Style. Sorry, I know I'm being wishy washy but I can't help it!

I'll have an email for you later today :) Right now, I'm taking care of the post apocalyptic Christmas meltdown mess.

I hope this goes through. Still no internet so I'm bumming off public WiFi.

It was a hard choice. I love the voice in Black and White, but I've a weakness for the metaphysical, so Posession is an equal contender.

Don't go by me though. I'm only going by what grabbed me the most.

Holiday Prep

For Thanksgiving this year we've invited some guests from Oliver's mom's side of the family, so I have to start prepping now to get the house in shape for the big day. The first major thing is having the carpets cleaned, which we've scheduled for next week. This weekend I'll be cleaning out four rooms to get them ready for that. I started with my front dining room, which I use as my sewing room. It was kind of a mess already, so it felt good to get everything cleared out. We'll be having ten people at dinner plus two babies, so this will give me a chance to figure out how to arrange two tables in this space. I think this will be my last time hosting a big Thanksgiving gathering. Mike has started his family with a lovely girl who has a huge, close-knit family of her own, while Katherine will likely be off at grad school out of state for the next several years. I'm also not getting any younger. My guy and I will always celebrate Thanksgiving, but ...

T-minus Day

This was our little Thanksgiving dinner last year, when it was just the three of us. Time keeps whittling down my favorite holiday; this year it will be just me and my guy, and we likely won't even have a turkey.* That will be a first in 35 years. I feel about Thanksgiving the way other people do about Christmas, and while it's a lot of work it's my favorite holiday. Of all the Thanksgivings I've had in the past sixty years, only three were truly terrible: one when I was a kid that I don't talk about (#1 most miserable); the time I roasted two turkeys together and hosted fifteen people whom I cooked for and served with zero help (the largest and #2 most miserable); and the one I spent in basic training (the #3 most miserable.) I have no pictures of any of those, thank heavens. In addition to doing all the cooking I'm the one who takes all the pictures, washes all the dishes and puts away all the leftovers. I suppose no one else cares because to them it...

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.
