It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small Things.
What am I celebrating this week?
It's the weekend!

I've had an okayish week. Didn't start off too hot, but got better. Went and saw my friend perform a stand-up show in the Comedy Festival which was hilarious. And because it was my birthday, the friend I went to the show with took me out to dinner beforehand and I had the most beautiful piece of steak. It's been months since I had steak. Yum!
Then I had the opportunity to go to an author talk with Neal Shusterman. I've reviewed a few of his books on the blog, including two recently. So it was fascinating to hear him talk about the books and his writing process. Always interested to hear how other writers write. It's always so different to the way I do it... Afterward I got to get my book signed. A little embarrassing since I read this in the bath and it got a little damp in places so the copy I gave him was rather fat.
Got a little more written on the new book. I put the first few sections up for my critique group and so far, feedback is good. Will write more this weekend although I just got asked to cover a class at the gym tomorrow and it's new release week so I need to learn the class. I didn't do it earlier because I didn't think I'd have to teach it - there were no days scheduled where the regular instructor wasn't going to be there. Luckily I've done this a couple of times, so I don't think it will take me too long.
Only one rejection this week so far. I've tweaked my query again and I think it works better now. I've only sent the new version out to about 4 agents, but I'll use this one for the next batch I send and see if that helps.

It sounds like a week full of little wins and lovely moments—birthdays, good food, inspiring talks, and steady writing progress. That’s worth celebrating indeed. I just shared a new travel post. I am excited for you to read it. Thank you. Happy weekend.
