Celebrate the Small Things 4-9-15


This post is part of  Lexa Cain's bloghop, Celebrate the Small Things (Lexa has just taken it over from VikLit who has hosted it for the last 2 years). Head on over there to join up! 

So, what am I celebrating this week?



I finished my book!  Yes, I finally managed to write those two amazing little words: The End.  I know there is a lot of work to do in terms of editing, but for now, I'm done.  I'm taking a few days off before diving into edits on last year's NaNo project and plan to enjoy them wholeheartedly.

Tonight we went to see a VIP in action.  Sirrocco is a Very Important Parrot.  He is one of only 125 Kakapo left in the world and has been named an ambassador for conservation because he prefers people to other Kakapo…  Good for highlighting the plight of an endangered species, but not so great for breeding more Kakapo….  Isn't he just beautiful?  And look at those feet!
I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend.  Tomorrow we're going out to a friend's house for the day, and on Sunday we're going to hang with the grandparents since it's father's day.

What are you celebrating this week?

  3. Congratulations!!!! The number of NANO projects I've actually completed is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the number of NANO projects I've crossed the 50k mark on without being anywhere near the end. It's an incredibly important milestone in the life of a book that makes it, I'd say, about a billion times more likely to actually go through the full process of editing and releasing to the world. So, yes- huge and awesome congrtas to you!

  5. Congrats on finishing!! I'm so happy for you!! Good luck on editing the NaNo one. Mr. VIP Kakapo is a parrot? I guess he has parrot colors, but he looks kind of like a kiwi bird to me. I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend - you deserve it! :)
