Hello again,
As I'm nearing the end of The Waiting Game and the nerves of those horrid what
if's are now thankfully over. Though I doubt truly gone. My mind is now
itching to start working on the next stage. My fingers are pulsating as the
need to write sinks into my soul, mind, and body. My mind racing with new
ideas, questions. This energy is a writer’s paradise, or at least mine. But it’s
quite inconvenient when I won't allow myself to work on my writing. Why I won't
I allow myself to work on the pain in my neck aka my beloved novel, some may
ask. The truth is I don't remember!
Anyway here I am reading every novel that looks remotely interesting. I love
my online library! It's the best thing invented after cupcakes! I mean who
doesn't love mini cakes? Speaking of which I made cupcakes last night, it
didn't go exactly as planned but hey they still taste good. This has been a
good time to catch up on chores, proper eating, and if you remember my first
blog bathing. That's all I have to say about that.
I really enjoy baking and cooking which is good cause I'm climbing the walls
waiting for another copy for two of my book so I can get back to work. However,
I don't care so much for the dishes but there is plenty of sweeping to do. I am
one of the weird three percent of the population that is allergic, sensitive,
or have Celiac Disease. I am more sensitive or allergic thankfully having
Celiac is a nasty disease to have. Anyway converting from being 'normal' and
being able to eat anything within reason to being Gluten Free it's a big
change. Especially when you realize what it is. Gluten is a protein most
commonly found in wheat flour. Wheat flour is the most basic ingredient that
found in just about everything proceeded and in many foods served in
restaurants.
If you’re like me you buy boxed cake, brownies, pancakes. Well what you know
and what you like is about to go out the window. I was lucky when I was
diagnosed with being Gluten Free that was when stores started carrying gluten
free products. At that time the only things really out were flours so now I had
to experiment and find the best flours that worked best with my favorite
recipes. Normal wheat flour is fundamentally different from oat flour, rice
flour, or the many blends you can buy. Wheat flour reacts differently than
other flours in say French Breakfast Muffins because the recipe was designed
for wheat flour so experimentation is called for to try and make my favorite
breakfast treat taste good and edible again.
Later brownie, cake, and cookie mixtures and already made items are now
available. Don't get me wrong homemade is the boss but I can be
extremely lazy so trying to figure out what brand is the best can be
work. I am extremely thankful that the world was very accommodating to my new
nutritional needs.
I got a little off subject today so I apologize but like I said I need to
write something and I guess talking about Gluten Free was the best thing I
could think of. My apologies. While I have nothing to do besides think and
dream I want to start researching Literary Agents. Later on I will be writing
a post on the pros and cons of going that route when wanting to publish
traditionally. I will also bring up the subjects for looking for new agents and
New York agents. Apparently there is quite the controversy on whether these are
better or even necessary.
Thanks for reading RawLitCom: True Confessions of an Aspiring Author
Sincerely,
Taylor
