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.

Tuesday Tunes: I Was Made for Loving You
This one is prevalent in the film Fall Guy, which I highly recommend. And action/comedy/romance that hits on all cylinders.

Monday Menu: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am an avid watcher of B. Dylan Hollis’s cooking videos. If you haven’t seen one, you are missing out, and there is no way I could explain the joy they bring. I’ve added the video of this recipe at the bottom of this post.
A few days ago, one of his old ones popped up in my feed, and I knew I had to make the recipe. I made a few changes, mostly adding bacon pieces because I thought the recipe was crying out for them.
The other change I made, was to default to my traditional Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies measurement. One pound of bacon renders one-half cup bacon grease and that is the amount of butter for a half-batch of my cookies. I felt Dylan’s recipe (he is always faithful to whatever old recipe he finds) was too much flour for the amount of fat.
Here’s what I did:
Furry Friday: Trixie is Four?!
How did we go from this…
and this…
…to four so quickly??
Trixie arrived a month after my mom passed, and she was balm for the soul. Also, nothing like a Great Dane puppy to keep you too busy and laughing so hard, you can step away from your grief for a while.
Today’s birthday girl. I wish it weren’t so difficult to get her to show off her pretty ears.
Scout wasn’t too sure of the new addition, but it didn’t take long…
Work Wednesday: Distractions
I distracted myself with some Halloween decorating this week. They all light up at night, which is a hit with the neighborhood kids. Which made it all worth the effort.
Right now, I’m stuck on a chapter of Full Sail. It is tight and works well, but needs some beefing up. That is what I’m tackling today. The rewrites on the next few chapters should be smoother, fingers-crossed.
How is your work week treating you?
