Describe a baked good you enjoy. <br/><br/>I don&#39;t bake and am, sadly, gluten free, so I don&#39;t get a lot of delicious baked treats. GF stuff can be kind of sad. There are a couple of places around here that carry good GF cupcakes &amp; muffins so I indulge once in a while. I keep thinking about getting a bread maker &amp; making my own GF bread which might be better than store bought but haven&#39;t gotten serious about that yet. 2026-07-16T11:49:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstux2pr9fkqp56ht9uzy6ppmrkay8yssta52xfr96s5uxkeg6lahczyq8nzlwqjrew2e935ypy50cmsghuczz3ma83xn3h85m4a9gpgu2xkz0z5cq #WordWeavers Apr 21<br/>Does the change of seasons affect your writing at all?

I like to dive deep into my MC&#39;s head. As a reader, the more POVs a book has the less I usually like it. I DNF&#39;d one book when a new POV showed up in book 7. Yet some of my favorites have multiples. 🤷 <br/><br/>My books are all in a single series telling their aspect of one world story, so could be considered a divided multiple POV 😆 work.
