1. Can you verbally describe the story you're writing? I am horrible at this. Though I've been told I have a pretty good logline for my current story, if someone asks for elaboration, I'm in trouble. This week I realized I'm equally horrible at describing the books I read, the TV shows I love, and the movies I see. Definitely something to work on.

2. While I'm sticking faithfully to my New Year's resolution to write daily, my health goals haven't been so easy. Is anyone doing Weight Watchers? I'm doing it on my own with the Points so I'll probably update progess here. Maybe it will work better that way.

3. If you are gluten-free, I just tried Udi's Gluten Free Pizza Crust for the first time, and all I can say is FINALLY! Someone finally got store-bought, GF pizza crust right. Thank you, Udi's! (Hey I know it's pizza but I'm within my Points, so there.)

4. Another thing I love is Maggie Stiefvater's Scorpio Races. Read it. I won't describe it because I'll fail.
