I've mastered the brownies, but I have never gotten her spice cookies to turn out. Hers were soft and melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. Mine were more like gingersnaps. When she was a live I teased her, saying she intentionally left something off the recipe, but after she died I found the recipe in her recipe box, and it was the same.

Maybe I'll try them again for Thanksgiving.

I am feeling completely burnt out by marketing and social media linking. Sometimes, I even feel that social media marketing is killing writers' development as writers. Not that 140 character sentences aren't a skill…How do you deal with all those complexities and still get your writing done?

Paula, do you make pumpkin cookies? Every fall, I think of my grandmother's pumpkin cookies….sigh…

Enjoy your company! I'll be getting ready for the siding (cross your fingers the order arrives Monday as scheduled so they can start work Tuesday!), which includes baking for the workers – cupcakes, probably decorated with tiny autumnal sugar cookies (I have tiny acorn, oak leaf, maple leaf, turkey, pumpkin and apple cutters I'm looking for an excuse to use).

I did the seal training last night — intense. Being hands-on gives me so much more to think about in terms of the writing.
