I decided to call some folks last-minute so we will have at least six people come between six and eight. Went to K's Donuts (also open) and got me a peanut butter chocolate donut thing prior to knowing I was going to do the little get-together - I ate that all up, of course, but I went to Ralph's and got cupcakes of various varieties and a Black Forest cake. Mostly I just thought it was nice last year when we did it so it will be nice this year. And I'm pretty much done with today's writing, almost eleven complete pages, which is really good for a first day and especially because there's literally only two lines of dialogue in those pages - dialogue makes the pages go faster - but this is all prose, mostly. I enjoyed writing Thrill Ride in the first person, but it's also fun to be back in the third person for this one.
