It's the end of the week, so what am I celebrating?
It's the weekend!
It has been a busy week, so I'm glad to have some time out. I also have the house to myself for the whole weekend because my son has gone to Sydney for a few days and my partner is housesitting up the coast. Luxury!
Unfortunately, we're in the throes of a winter storm and it's wet and windy and freezing cold.
I finished the last story in the anthology. It needs a little work, I think, but all the stories probably need a little tweaking and changing to make them work. I plan to get this work done over the weekend so the collection is ready to be judged from the end of the month. I did have a quick peek at the other entries yesterday, just to see how many people are close to the finish line, and it looks like quite a few writers might have fallen by the wayside.
I was long listed in the Australian Writer's Centre Furious Fiction Showcase for the third time this year, which is nice. I really enjoy this super-short flash fiction contest once a month.
I had a rejection on a partial for A Stranger to Kindness which is disappointing. I think it's time to stop querying this one. Clearly no one is interested in this story. Which is a real shame. I still think it's the best thing I've written. And I really feel like Street Smarts is going to be an even tougher sell, if I ever get to the point of querying that one. I think I need to restructure it a bit so Arlo and Devon meet sooner than they do now.
What are you celebrating this week?
