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.
