So my daughter turns five on Wednesday! I’m really excited and I’ve even decided to bake cupcakes from scratch for her preschool! I always Google the web for ‘the best’ cupcakes recipes. Last year I tried the Amy Sedaris cupcakes . It was a fun recipe, but I thought they tasted like fluffy sugar cookies basically. And I’m not a fan of sugar cookies. But others seemed to love them!
So this year I found another recipe. Billy’s Vanilla, Vanilla cupcakes. Here’s the pic below. Only I’m going to do it with the alternate chocolate frosting. I love to bake. It’s so much fun! But the sucky part is I can’t really eat the stuff! Everything in moderation though. Easier said than done ;)
Yesterday I came home from the gym and found my author copies for Dangerous Grounds! Squee! Very fun indeed. Just a couple more weeks about (I think?) until it’s out!!
And can I just say for the first time I’m actually kicking butt on NaNo? I got 12k in the first six days. I’m pretty proud of myself. I think I’ll actually complete it this year. I was telling my editor that I’ve tried to do it every year (somewhat), but when you have a bunch of people totally going totally hardcore and MAKING you do it, I tend to rebel. I do better when I set my own or my publisher gives me deadlines (actually that’s when I thrive.) But this year, I’m riding the NaNo wave and determined to win it! I’m working on my second Kensington futuristic erotic romance for Aphrodisia. So that’s part of the motivation.
All right, must find food and then get some writing done! Later!
