Celebrate the Small Things 13-3-26

 

It's the end of the week, so what am I celebrating?

It's the weekend!

I've had a busy week and dealt with some rather difficult people as part of it, so I'm looking forward to having a couple of days to decompress.

I'm getting my materials together to enter RevPit, a contest I have entered the last couple of years.  I've never won, but I have got some really useful feedback on my query and openings pages.  I'm going to enter Street Smarts this year, since it's the most raw of my completed manuscripts and could benefit most from a professional edit.  I hadn't really finished writing a query, or even started thinking about a synopsis until now, so that's going to be my weekend...

I got to go to the dress rehearsal of a beautiful dance work this week.  One of the pieces is by a very well known New Zealand choreographer and I saw a performance of it in the '90s when it premiered.  At the time, it was quite shocking and groundbreaking and made a huge impression on me.  Now, when so much contemporary dance has adopted these techniques,  it's less shocking, but still a very hauntingly beautiful piece.

I've managed to stave off the cold I thought I was getting, but my partner got hit hard.  I have my fingers crossed it was me who brought the germs into the house and that I won't get it now.

What are you celebrating this week?
