NaNoWriMo? Pftttttbbbbbbbbbb! The weather turned dark and stormy (as it is wont to do in Seattle in the winter), and I came down with a bad case of the knitting bug. As I rock the baby to sleep, I browse cute baby patterns on Ravelry. As I nurse, I browse cute mama patterns on Ravelry.

Yes, yes, I’m still writing. I’m just in the brainstorm/plotting section of my new project. NaNo is a little too early for me.

And I’ve been READING. WOOT! Steampunk. It’s where it’s at. I hate that phrase. I recommend LEVIATHAN by Scott Westerfield and BLOOD AND CHOCOLATE by Annette Curtis Klause. The latter is not Steampunk and is nothing like the disappointing movie loosely based on it–thank you writing gods. It predates the YA craze, and has the rich prose and kick ass heroines that I’d like to see more of in today’s Bella-centric tomes.

What’s on your needles?
