Crocheting and Reading


Crocheting:
Currently working on a swatch for a Christmas present. Yes, I am starting my Christmas presents already! It is also for my Nerd Wars dissertation. Nerd Wars is a really fun 3 month long knit/crochet competition on Ravelry, and the dissertation is a large project that is worth a lot of points for your Nerd Wars team. This is going to help get my creative butt in gear. Oh, and I nailed my swatch on the first try. Yay!

Reading:
A reference book for my JunoWrimo challenge, Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel by Hallie Ephron. I'm really enjoying this book and learning a ton about mystery novels.  I also love that it has worksheets for every chapter to get your story, characters, and outline in order. I really need that!

  1. I love the idea of Nerd Wars!
    Usually I'm crafting for Christmas by this point in the year but I haven't started yet this time around.

  2. You're organized! I'm inspired now to think about some Christmas presents to work on, as well! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. Likewise, I am always envious of those who whip up BLANKETS in no time because it takes me for-ev-errrrrr. I'm looking forward to following along on your blog! :)
