I'll have more to say once I've slept, but holy crap - I've read the book twice. I know how the story goes. And yet, that last episode? The scene with Sizhui?

I'm bawling like my life depends on it. And I'm a Xiyao shipper.

What a phenomenal fucking show.

The MXTX fandom is blessed to have such a loving adaptation of this incredible story.

PLOT???

Tea time

As I've gotten back into the swing of writing, I've been a touch obsessed with creating the right atmosphere in which I can tap into my creative juices. Among my many blessings is a mother who travels frequently. She loves to bring back treats - tiny shells, shoes, an olive seed, a shell fragment from a long-extinct species. There's nothing quite like holding a strange-smelling carved piece of wood or eating a unique food item to bring me into an expansive state of mind.

One of the gifts she brought to me from her most recent adventure was a bag of tea from Jordan. Hugged in a thick plastic bag, the scent of the blend nonetheless seeps out into the air - a whiff of Wadi Rum, desert sand, and grinning laughter.

Here is a recipe that most closely matches what I can taste in the blend I have, EXCEPT:

- one MUST have sage, cinnamon BARK fragments, thyme, and cardamom. Mint is a plus.

What must YOU have in order to write? Are you someone that can access your creativity 24/7? Or must you be suspended from the ceiling in crimson shibari ropes listening to noisepunk?

Back!

It's a three day weekend.

Plans:
- writing and plotting the next three chapters of Everyday Magic
- transcribing my near-sleep XiYao plot notes that I recorded on my phone
- finishing The Untamed/CQL

Which, by the fucking by, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo have NO business making me cry at a death scene I've read and seen like five times now. Gawd.
