Hi, Nadia! Welcome to my blog! The pie does look yummy, doesn’t it?

I’ve never baked anything, so I don’t quite get the analogy, but I love the pie pic.

Hey, I need a writing identity!

I don’t talk about writing much on my blog either. Hardly at all. I’m impressed by people who can come up with interesting things to say about the process – my musings on these subjects are of the “my cat’s name is Mittens” variety.

Mmmm, sprinkles! Of course, you have to come up with two different writing identities. Twice as hard!

Well, if one overbeats cake batter the cake gets tough and more like bread than cake… something about the glutens. And there are all kinds of ways to goof up frostings. So I’m sure there’s a cake analogy in there somewhere. Heh.

I really have to think of my own writing analogy…I do love the ‘historical fiction with sprinkles’ too…

I prefer cake to pie, but I think the pie crust analogy works better than any cake analogy I can think of. Especially the “tough and gray” part. When you’ve just messed with the darn thing too much. Ugh.
