What am I celebrating this week?
It's a long weekend!
At this time of year we're kind of spoiled when it comes to public holidays. We just get back from the summer break and then there's Anniversary Day, followed closely by Waitangi Day. And then, if Easter is early, that happens pretty soon afterward.
Unfortunately I didn't remember that Monday was Anniversary Day until yesterday, so I haven't made any real plans for the long weekend, other than going to see the epic, and apparently very flawed film, Babylon. I shall let you know my thoughts about it on Monday.
I got my first rejection of 2023 today, so good to know nothing has changed dramatically in the new year. I sent a bunch of stuff out in November and December, so I guess this is just the start of the latest batch of rejections. I hate to think how many I have in total now. It's probably over 500 between novels and short stories.
The weather has been glorious this week, so I've managed to ride my bike to work almost every day. I didn't yesterday because I went to an outdoor concert after work, but every other day I have. Which has been good because the bus service is so short of drivers at the moment that they're running the Saturday timetable all week which means every bus is jammed. There must have been 50 or so people waiting for a bus by the hospital when I rode past this morning. And every bus I saw was packed to the gunnels.
And that's it for me. What are you celebrating this week?
I've had a good writing week so I'm celebrating that. Bummer about the rejection, though.
ReplyDeleteRejections are always so hard. I hope you have a relaxing weekend.
