It's the end of the week, so what am I celebrating?
I'm feeling much better after the surgery. I haven't taken any pain meds since Monday and have been doing longer and faster walks every day. I still don't feel 100% myself, but I think that might take a few weeks - I do still have four little wounds in my belly that are healing (and itchy as heck) and things inside are probably still settling down too. I have to go back to work on Monday, so I'm going to try and keep resting as much as I can over the weekend so I'm ready.
Had a couple more rejections for A Stranger to Kindness. No new requests this week either. I'm getting the new book ready to enter in a contest that will get me the chance to work with an editor if I win, so that's kind of my focus for the first part of March. I need to come up with a compelling longline for that one... What do you think of this?
Street Smarts is a platonic love story between Arlo, a homeless rent boy and Devon, the Catholic schoolgirl he rescues when the park is raided.
I feel like it could be snappier, even if that is the essence of the story. I'm not quite sure how to wrap in that it's told through journal entries either, or if that's even relevant when it's clear once you see the first page.
Any (and all) feedback is welcome.
What are you celebrating this week?
