Looking out of the window into my windswept and rain-soaked garden, it's quite hard to find something to celebrate today, but here goes.I have lots of freelance work on at the moment, which is good news. It all helps to bring me closer to the day when the mortgage will be paid off. Another submission has been greeted with 'Not sure, let me think about it,' which is better than 'No thanks.' Also, my son has landed another music teaching contract to boost what he's already doing.
Finally, I have a couple of stories available on Smashwords. Briefs Encounter is free anyway, but next week the site is running a promotion: Read an eBook Week, during which my other story, Robbing Hoodies, will be available for just 49cents (usually 99cents). If you were tempted to pop over next week and have a look here, I'd be interested to know (a) if the promotion code is actually there, (b) whether you found the site easy to use and (c) what you thought of my story (there is a facility to leave a review). Thanks. Have a great weekend, folks.

Thanks for stopping by, Nissa.
DeleteYou're doing not too badly, Julia! Will try and get a look at Smashwords later.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rosemary. Smashwords has lots of stuff to choose from.
DeleteI have a son into music too. Really adds to the family dynamics. Good luck with the freelancing and two stories online!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many drums in my front room you can't see the floor - but I wouldn't have it any other way.
DeleteCongrats to you and your son for the good news. Everyone should read "Briefs"! I loved it! I'll plug it again on my Friday Freebies on March 10. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lexa. That's really kind.
DeleteSounds like you do indeed have some celebrating to do! :) Always nice to have lots of freelance work on and knowing that you'll be closer to paying off the mortgage. :) When I have a minute, I'll check out Smashwords - thanks for the link! :) Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Stacy. I hope you like it.
DeleteSounds like a pretty good week to me, Julia - lots of freelance work is always a positive.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendy. Yes, I panic when it all goes quiet!
DeleteI think you have a lot to celebrate! Congratulations on having a lot of freelance work. And congratulations to your son on his music teaching contract. Music is such an important ability to nurture. It does change lives.
ReplyDeleteMusic is being squeezed out of the school curriculum or given to teachers who don't anything about the subject, so it's gratifying to find a school that actually wants a proper music teacher.
