Still getting used to the whole ‘writing 2025’ thing. Still, nothing like starting the year with three snow days (or rather, icy road days). I know this is going to play hell with the curriculum that I need to cover, but it is what it is. I hope my kids are ready for a wild ride for the next week and a half.
On a more cheerful note, I’m about 25k words into Moonstone Wish, the fourth book in Melusine’s Endgame. It’s been fun, though a load of historical research is needed. It’s slower going than I would like, partially due to the research end of things and also because my younger kiddo is sick. Hopefully I can break at least 27k tonight.
I’m still on the hunt for an obsidian bracelet that I really like. For those who don’t follow me on social media, I’m getting myself a bracelet for each book in Melusine’s Endgame that I finish. Right now, I have the right to wear amber, opal, and lapis. Full confession…I do already have the moonstone one…the seller had a BOGO sale, but I don’t wear it. I’ve been picking out a few of each stone type that I like on Etsy, but I’ve only found one for obsidian that I’m even remotely keen on. I might cheat a little bit and substitute moissanite for diamond, since I’m not wild about diamonds, and moissanite is just so dang cool!
Too bad by the end I’ll have something like fifteen bracelets on my left arm. It will be the next closest thing to a gauntlet.
