I had a thought on how to plan a novel.

Baking is methodical: Every measurement is precise, so you need to concentrate on only the baking when you’re doing it - in turn, clearing your head.

Baking takes time: If you dedicate yourself to this activity, you’re setting time aside for yourself indirectly. Therefore creating a safe space where no-one can bother you. This is of course, when you’re like me and you kick everyone else out of the kitchen.

Baking is relaxing: When have you not appreciated the scent of fresh baked cookies in your living space? Really.

Baking is satisfying: Cookie dough? Check. Actual cookies? Check. Let’s be real, sometimes you need to eat your feelings.

Baking is motivational: You can’t just sit and wallow in whatever you’re stressed about when you’re baking. You have 10 minute intervals to sit and contemplate life, the world and everything. (the answer will always be 42 - props if you get this reference)

Baking is satisfying (pt 2): For me, my coworkers adore it when I’m stressed. Not in the “haha, Rhiannon’s life is hard right now” kind of sense, but more the “sweet, I got unexpected breakfast AND dessert in the same day.”

Baking is deceiving: I think I’m an anomaly. I don’t really watch TV, I play video games (when I’m not baking/working) and I’m not a huge fan of cooking. Last night, I made macaroni and cheese, strawberry muffins and monster cookies. Tonight I made my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It makes people think that I’m on speed, because no one else can “find the time to bake.” It’s really that I don’t really have a lot of hobbies. There, now you know.

Baking is productive: Baking gives you the ability to not only scientifically and mathematically massage your brain, but see a finished product. Hopefully you remembered to put both cups of flour in (speaking from experience here).

Baking is exercise: Okay, so maybe I’m a little biased here, but for me, I try really hard not to use my mixer when I don’t have to, and I remember even as a kid, when you get a good cookie dough going, it gets tough to mix after a while. Reaching for ingredients? Or the fact that you’re probably standing while you’re mixing all these ingredients. Point being: at least you’re not sitting doing nothing. See reason #5.

Baking is good: This blog has brought me a lot of joy, and whenever I feel like I’m less of a person, or like all the effort I’m putting into the things I’m doing is amounting to nothing, I’ll look to this blog for visible proof that I’ve grown and evolved over the past three years, and my followers here appreciate when I post new recipes for them to hate me for making and not giving to them personally. Sorry guys, you know I’d totally bake for all of you! ;) 

Bake it out guys.  <3 bakerhi

HE’S BRINGING THE RECEIPTS

how to realistically write a bilingual character

no one who speaks 2+ languages ever “randomly” switches in the middle of a sentence. like that just…….. doesn’t happen? 

the only times people will get confused and mix them up is when:

a) they’re in an environment where they have to alternate between speaking two languages often/quickly, and the brain can’t keep up and messes up.

b) they’ve been in an environment where they have to speak/hear one language for a long time, and when they change settings it takes them a moment to not instinctively go for the other language.

c) they’re hearing one language (music, radio, background chatter) and trying to speak another 

interrupting themselves in the middle of a conversation because they can only remember the word they wanna say in another language

having the perfect idiom/expression for a situation but it doesn’t translate as well

having the perfect word for a situation but it doesn’t even fucking exist in that language

if ur character is out in public with their family, i can guarantee u that they’ll talk shit about people around them in their native tongue

calling their significant others pet names is a conscious choice. it doesn’t just “slip up”. it may come naturally with time, but saying a word in another language is something you like… immediately notice

swearing is complicated and i’m not getting into it rn 

anyone who has ever picked up another language has been pissed at specific vowels and pronunciations and this is the gospel truth

[forgets a word] [attempts to explicitely describe the thing they’re trying to say] [forgets a word while trying to explain themselves] “oh jesus christ nevermind”

will know how to speak a language but not know any of the mathematical/scientific/biological terms because they went to school in a different language and no one learns, like, algebra in a second language unless they studied in multiple languages.

[knows a word but they’ve only ever read it and they have no idea how it’s pronounced]

there’s probably more stuff that i’m forgetting rn but that’s like, the main bits. thank u for ur time

Is anyone watching Riverdale? Did it premier yet? It looks like Gossip Girl meets murder, and also a little bit of Pretty Little Liars. I’m minimally intrigued.
