What am I celebrating this week?
It's the holidays!
I've had my last day at work now and I'm not going back until 13 January. That's three whole weeks off! I'm still working at the gym over some of that time, but my regular day job is over for 2024.
I haven't done anything for Christmas yet, so this weekend is all about getting ready for that. I have presents to make...
I'm going away for about 10 days of that, to the beach house in the South Island, but the rest of the time I'm here and plan to do lots of cleaning and gardening and to go and see a lot of movies. I'm not going to write except maybe the odd short story here or there. I've been trying to do that more.
A Stranger to Kindness is with my critique group and I'm trying to leave it entirely alone until February or so now. It's hard, especially since Harley's voice is still very much in my head. But I know from past experience, he'll quiet down soon.
So for now I'll be focusing on short stuff while I wait for edits to come in for Standing Too Close. And I might send out a handful more queries for Guide Us, even though that's starting to feel a little like a fruitless exercise. Such a shame. I really like that book. It just doesn't seem to be interesting to anyone else.
This week's story on Medium is a little supernatural romance.
What are you celebrating this week?
