It's the end of the week, so it's time to Celebrate the Small Things.
What am I celebrating this week?
It's the weekend!

It's been a long week so I'm looking forward to it. Not that I have a whole lot planned... I have a new spin class to learn for next week, but I've been through it once already, so it shouldn't be too hard.
I haven't done a lot of writing this week, but the prompts for the contest I try to do every day worked for diary entries a couple of times this week, so I have two new Arlo sections to add to the book. I hope to go through and bulk up the existing entries a little and then move forward with the rest of the book all from Arlo's POV. We'll see how that goes...
Only had a few rejections this week, and weirdly, they have mostly been for Guide Us, not for A Stranger to Kindness. I stopped querying Guide Us in October, so these are from a long time back! Not sure yet if the new query is working better - I've had one rejection from that version so far. No requests from either yet. It's kind of brutal!
Got feedback from a new beta reader which was really positive. She even wanted to know more about Meg and Ozzy so it was fun to be able to say that Ozzy actually has his own book which is already published. She emailed me back the next day to say she'd bought it. That's what I like to hear!
And that's about it for me. What are you celebrating this week?
It sounds like you've had a productive, yet balanced week! Celebrating the weekend is always a good start, especially after a busy time. It's awesome that you've added new sections to your book—Arlo’s POV sounds like it will be such an interesting perspective. And getting positive feedback from a beta reader is always a win! Hopefully, the queries for Guide Us start turning around soon. It's tough, but every rejection brings you closer to the right opportunity. Enjoy the spin class and the weekend!
