What am I celebrating this week?
Long weekend! And I made it extra long by taking the Friday off as well. So four days of weekend to enjoy!
I used the extra Friday to write and made some excellent progress on edits to Guide Us. I think it still needs a little more work, particularly at the beginning of the book. Just small things. A line here or there that will highlight some elements a little more. I hope to use Monday to do this work and a few other little writing-related jobs I've set for myself.
I also did a little work on Shook because I want to enter that one into a contest that's coming up. Again, it still needs a little more work, so hopefully I can get that done on Monday too. I have a goal to get all my completed, unpublished novels out into the world over the next couple of months in some way shape or form. Some will go to contests, others will go to publishers and I plan to query Guide Us when it is ready. Hopefully something will get picked up somewhere. I'm sitting on far too many completed manuscripts at the moment and I'm determined to find them all homes.
As for the rest of the long weekend, I'm heading up the coast on Saturday to spend a day with my friend who lives up there. It was her birthday this week, and another mutual friend's birthday, so we are all getting together to celebrate. And on Sunday I'm going to the movies to see The Whale. It will be the first time in a while, I think, that I will have seen all, or almost all the Oscar contenders.
And I think that's about all for celebrations this week. What are your wins?
Shook was a good one! I enjoyed reading it. I'll be pulling for you to win.
