Insecure Writers Support Group 6 November 2024

 


November 6 question - What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?

I was going to include an art project for all y’all phucquers to view with wonder and envy, but I haven’t made a new one yet this month.

I could include my failed potato chips in the food dehydrator experiment. Sadly, this only wasted a few perfectly good potatoes. They turned out awful. I took one bite and spit it right out. I can make good beef jerky in the food dehydrator, and I expect my apple chip experiment to turn out okay too.

I haven’t baked anything in a hot minute. I need a new 13 X 9 pan. At least with my baking experiments, even if they turn out looking like the lemon pound cake disaster pictured above, they still taste good.

I actually enjoy mixing drinks even though I haven’t drunk alcohol in years. Amazingly enough, I never ended up addicted to alcohol. I say amazingly, because in my younger days I drank enough of it to keep several liquor stores in business. I can have a sip here and there if I really want one, but even drinking enough to get a buzz on doesn’t agree with me.

I like loom knitting and making latch hook rugs. After the Month of Word Count Hell is over, I need to make time for those things again.

"I'm tellin' y'all, Ornery, that funny-lookin' lemon pound cake of yours is a big hit with the folks in town!"
"Thanks, Beaks. I'd say there's no accounting for taste, but it does taste good."

"Ornery, if y'all could just puree a bit of that there pound cake up for me with a bit of milk and a shot of moonshine, I'd be real grateful."

"My lemon pound cake is a lot like me. It can't sing, it ain't pretty, and its legs ain't thin, but it's surprisingly good anyway!"
