• So, I think I've finally found a layout that's both pretty enough and simple enough to satisfy me. Maybe. I'm really flighty when it comes to DW layouts, but I also don't have the time to waste fiddling with another one. Hopefully this one will stick around for awhile. 
• Writing's been going well this week. I'm this close to 10,000 words on the Defenders Big Bang fic; right I'm just hoping to finish it with a few days left over to do some rough editing. The basic plot's in place, but they're still gaps I could do a better job of filling in. Most of my other writing has been pushed to the side, but I'm still putting a little work into the fourth Pete fic, which I think will end up being a two- or three-parter.  
• On Wednesday I made fresh peach cobbler using this recipe. I doubled the amount of lemon juice and didn't bother boiling the peaches. The filling came out delicious, but I wasn't as crazy about the crust; it was a bit too thick and cakey for my taste. Maybe next time I'll try this recipe's topping.

I've been having trouble settling on a layout here too. So many of them feature the most horrible colour combos... really don't know what's up with that.

My biggest sticking point is the size of fonts--I just want one that's big enough to read easily on both my laptop and phone. Finding a nice theme with a good-sized font has taken a surprisingly long time.

I'm glad writing has been going well for you!

I've had trouble settling on a layout too, because my current one doesn't really work on mobile but I can't decide on what to replace it with. I just want one that works both ways!

I know, right? A lot of layouts don't show up well on mobile at all.

Thanks! It's been tough but fun. :)

Yeah, the DW layouts aren't the easiest, but I think the ones I've seen are nicer than LJ. I like the look of your journal though!

Thanks! It took me a ridiculously long time to settle, but I do think I like this theme best of all. Honestly, though, my only real requirement is that the entries are easy to read.
