It's been a long week, so my first celebration is that I've made it to Friday. I was all geared up to receive two chunky proofreading jobs on Monday. One has arrived in dribs and drabs; the other was rescheduled to arrive today. Now I've been told it will be with me on Monday, or possibly Tuesday, or probably Wednesday. This is OK in itself, but it makes it difficult to know what to do in the meantime: shall I start something else or do a little gentle dusting instead?Second celebration is that I did manage to knuckle down and get a story written and submitted to a competition. Thanks to my writing buddy Elaine for her gentle advice.
Have a good weekend, folks.
'Celebrate the small things' is a bloghop instigated by VikLit on her blog Scribblings of an Aspiring Author and co-hosted by Diana Wilder, LG Keltner @ Writing Off the Edge, Cyborg Mom (Katie) and CaffeMaggieato @ mscoffeehouse. Details are here.
Proofreading jobs sound nice. Good you had time to finish the new story. Ooh, nothing like chocolate and exercise! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for the bulk of the proofs, but the chocolate and yoga went down well yesterday.
DeleteCongrats on the finished story and the chocolate---before yoga? Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWe were given a single square of raw chocolate made with lucuma (which is a fruit that gives sweetness and a vitamin boost).
DeleteGood luck with your story submission!
ReplyDeleteThanks - fingers crossed!
DeleteI think I would make the most rubbish proofreader - I always pity my editor!
ReplyDeleteI've done it for many a long year, Wendy.
