Got most, but not all, of the baking done this weekend. Decided to forgo any cookies needing fancy decorations, ans we tried a couple of new ones. Didn’t get the outside lights up or the cards mailed, but hopefully this week some time.

Some thoughts on conflict in the context of writing a continuing relationship between characters
It’s a truism that you can’t write a story without conflict. That’s not entirely true, of course; there’s character studies and mood pieces and so on and so forth, but for the most part, it’s a good rule of thumb. […]
