Celebrate the Small Things 18-4-25

It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small Things.

What am I celebrating this week?

Holidays!

It's Easter, so we have a four-day weekend, plus, because it's ANZAC day on Friday next week, I only had to take three days of leave to get a 10 day break.  Nice, huh?

I'm not going anywhere, but I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get a good way through the new book, so my plan is to try and write at least 5,000 words a day over this break and get a good way in.  I had initially thought I'd be able to finish the whole thing, but realizing I went the wrong way in about Chapter Two means I'm not as far in as I thought.

But it's fine.  I'll fix that chapter up and get things moving in the right direction, then I'll see if anything I've already written can be salvaged. I'm pretty sure some of it can.  Just probably not all of it.  And if I can get 40-50K written over the next week or so, that will be fantastic.  I'll be right in the story then.

I'm also hoping to send off my first few queries for A Stranger to Kindness over the next week, so please keep your fingers crossed for that.  I feel so protective of Harley and Wolfe, I can't bear to think of them being rejected.

Oh, and that exciting thing I alluded to that I couldn't talk about?  Turned out to be nothing.  Just another disappointment in a week that's been a little disappointing on numerous fronts.  But this is a celebrate post, so I'm not going into that....

What are you celebrating this week?
