It's the end of the week, so what am I celebrating?
It's the weekend!
Despite being a short week, it felt like a really long week, so I'm glad for the weekend. Especially since I'm away on tour most of next week. Which is always fun, but also a lot of work as you try and squeeze a full workday in around travel and concerts. But it's a beautiful concert. Prokofiev is my favorite composer, so I always enjoy concerts featuring his work.
No new rejections this week. I think I'm going to wind down querying Stranger at the end of the month and dive into some revisions on Street Smarts so I can start querying that one. I need to do some major shifting around of some of the entries, I think, to try and get the REAL inciting incident closer to the start of the book. Even though I don't think doing that will really do the book any favors. The reason that incident works as a catalyst is because by that point, you really understand Arlo's desperate loneliness, even if he doesn't acknowledge or even recognize it.
I have four more stories to write for my anthology and 24 days to do it. Possible, I think, but it's going to be tight. If I can get one written this weekend, I'll feel better about it.
I'm going to see my favorite Douglas Sirk film on Sunday as part of the Film Society's 80th birthday celebrations. Very excited to see it again. I don't think I've seen it since I wept my way through it in a university class about melodrama.
What are you celebrating this week?
