Beltane seems like a good starting point

Dancing around the May-pole, the lusty month of May when people go blissfully astray, etc., seems an excellent time to begin a journal for fiction, fan- and pro-, of the slashy kind.

By the same token, "m'aidez! m'aidez!" seems like a good way to begin a journal where I'll be looking for help, advice, moral support and critique of writing I manage to do.

I'm working on a novel now, but when it's done, inspiration might not strike again for three years--that's how long it took last time--and so this journal could morph into something else. Fandom and passions are weird that way.

The Cookie Trials, part 4

Ganache-filled shortbread pillows, Trial Number Three, was a tiny batch of eight cookies, which kind of fell apart before I could photograph them. (The crumbs were tasty, though).

Trial Number Four is approaching the goal. I used 1/16"guide strips to roll the dough, and 1/4" strips to roll the ganache (yes, I rolled it out and cut it--used cocoa powder to dust the rolling pin), and everything came out much nicer.

( Big improvements )

I think I'm ready for human trials.
