Plan B

I have a chance to pitch my series to a publisher I know and trust, so I'm thinking about setting aside my plan to self-publish. I need to get the first two books ready for submission, and decide how I want to negotiate and what I want if I receive an offer before I prepare the pitch.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I'd like to work with this publisher on the series, as long as I can have the final say on certain aspects of the process. It would be a relief to just handle the book writing and social media content, too, and have professionals manage the rest. I am not especially savvy when it comes to things other than writing.

I'm going to make my decision goal May 1st, which gives me plenty of time to put the final polish on the books and write up my pitch.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
