turkey egg and more writing

I have promised myself that when I’m finished writing the manuscript for Daughter of War that I will reward myself by carving out some time to make pysanky — Ukrainian written eggs. I have already bought a lovely array of dyes and have also got about 18 beautifully smooth eggs in the refrigerator, waiting to be processed.

And yesterday, my father dropped by with a fresh turkey egg. It’s perfectly smooth and a fair bit bigger than an extra large egg. I’ll have to practice on the regular eggs before I tackle this one.

I wrote 3000 words yesterday and the same today, but I also deleted 3000 words over the last few days. I’m so close to the end of this novel that I can taste it. (It doesn’t taste like raw eggs …….)
