FIVE hours of sleep in a row! To be fair, I woke up at 3.5 hours, realized there wasn't a peep from the cradle, said 'hallelujah!' in my head and went back to sleep, but still... FIVE hours in a row where I didn't have to budge from my bed. I think Guppy took that threat of leaving her out for the wolves to raise seriously.

Bread is made, laundry is a consideration... but Guppy's napping at the moment, so I'd like to get some writing in.

And speaking of writing, my next newly-public (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] haunted_blood!) story to highlight is Railcrossing. This story is WAY outside of my normal comfort zone and I'm a little shy about spotlighting it... it's easily the most erotic, graphic thing I've written. I... ah... hope I did it right? Because it is rated 'adult,' it can only be viewed by logged-in readers. The Rails plot does not require this story - this is what happens after the tasteful fade-to-black at the end of Railchange. If you'd prefer to leave it to your imagination, you won't miss any plotpoints. (That's one of the lovely things about the structure at Torn World, you can write a story at a general rating, but interject optional scenes of a completely different rating whenever you like, without having to change the rating of the whole collection.)

And on a COMPLETELY different note:

Are we sure Her Delightfulness isn't plotting that whole world domination thing? There's something about that look...

She's beautiful, Ellen! I am super impressed by your ability to write while she naps - mine is 4.5 months, and I haven't managed anything creative since he was born!

I have spent a fair amount of time drinking awesome tea from EllenMillion.com, though, from the Ursula Vernon tea tins. We're almost out, though, which is a terrible looming disaster! Do you happen to remember where you acquired the tea, especially the oolong and the peppermint, so that we might attempt to acquire more? Tea appears to be a really necessary element in this baby-raising business.

The writing is... intermittent, to say the least. (I have a friend with a baby the same age AND a 6-year old who is writing a novel to a deadline... I can't IMAGINE that.)

The tea came from the marvelous Empire Teas: http://empiretea.com/index.html

Here are the sachets I loved so much: http://empiretea.com/tea_temptations_pyramid_sachets.htm
(All the joy of loose tea, but in bags because I am WAY too lazy for loose tea.)

Guy (the owner) is wonderful to work with. I don't see the peppermint listed on that page, but possibly the webpage wasn't updated with it - ask to see if its available. :)

You are awesomeness! Thank you! (I also envy you and Elsa all the rainbow wonderfulness of baby girl clothes and accoutrements. Baby boy things are much duller. Did you know many baby boy things come in camo? because you can never start the association of boys with hunting and the military too early. Fortunately, I made a rainbow baby quilt for him before I knew his sex!)
