Author of the TJ Wilde Trilogy, Duxbridge and the Jennifer Cozy Mysteries
Got some good rewrites done this week. And very happy with how Act One of FULL SAIL is shaping up. It feels tight. TJ and Colby are once again full-fledged humans, Mimi is holding her own, and the secondary characters are well fleshed out.
Since I discovered using a cast-iron skillet method for making apple crisp, that’s been my go-to. Cooking the apple mixture on the stove changes everything. The apple mixture has time to become soft and syrupy before adding the topping and baking at a higher temperature.
And this week I had a few apples I needed to use before they went bad. I think I made one of my best apple crisps.
Here’s what I added to the recipe below: caramel sauce spread liberally over the cooked apples before I added the crisp. I also grabbed the jar of pumpkin spice and added about two teaspoons worth while cooking the apple mixture.
The last few days have been super busy, so to make up for missing Furry Friday, here’s some bonus content.
Nora injured her wing yesterday, nothing serious, but I suspected it was sore. So, last night she got some family time before heading to her coop (new!) for the night.
For whatever reason, she makes a nest of all the stuffed animals. I put a few towels down to protect them, but luckily, all she left us were a few feathers.
One of the issues I had with the first read through of the completed manuscript was Colby. He felt like he was a shadow of himself. And the trouble started in Act One.
This one is prevalent in the film Fall Guy, which I highly recommend. And action/comedy/romance that hits on all cylinders.
