Today was apparently ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
grrm's birthday. I was kind of hoping for some kind of update ... any kind ... on ASoIaF, but it was another long football post. Why do you taunt us, GRRM, why? I mean, it's his bday, he can talk about whatever he wants. And really, it's his LJ, so he can talk about whatever he wants. But can't he throw us a bone? I don't want to be morbid but he's 62 today! And he has 3 very dense books to write!
I am about 1/3 of the way through A Clash of Kings. This one seems to be going faster than the last, dunno why. The font size is a little bigger, but it has 969 pages (vs 807).

I made mini pies today. 6 nectarine pies with a cream cheese crust, and 6 beef pies with a flaky lard crust. The recipes came from Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Pie and Pastry Bible. They were so much work and so fussy, but damn if they weren't extremely flaky and delicious crusts. But I must say, making them just for myself? Probably never gonna happen again. WAY too much work.
Last night I actually wrote some. My goal for myself is to write 1 word a day. That's an extremely low bar, one even I can meet. The hope is that I will write more than the 1 word, but if I don't, I don't have to feel like a failure and then avoid writing again for however many months.
