Actually, there have been things going on. By some miracle I've picked up a couple of new editing jobs, for which much thanks. I see from the latest Martin Lewis newsletter that in a quick survey for his MSE website 25% of respondents said they expect to be financially better off because of the current situation. Well, lucky them.
Me? Well, I'm looking forward to the donation from the government to the self-employed, thank you very much. For now, I'm ticking along OK (although if you fancy buying one of my books I won't say no!). On the plus side, I received the interest on my Santander online savings account this morning: 5p. On the negative side, the shower is making a funny noise.
In other news, I've done a bit of Zooming, including an online dancetheatre class. There's nothing like wafting around the living room on your own pretending to be a tree to make you realise how daft the world is at the moment. I've also done a proper grown-up board meeting online, just in case you thought I'd completely lost all sense of reason.
We've had Easter, of course, which this year was also the occasion of our wedding anniversary: 40 years!
Another of my short stories was broadcast by the 3P team, one of the tales from Nine Lives. You can listen here, if you'd like to.
Finally, I've started to do a 'word of the day' on my @JuliaThorleyAuthor Facebook page. So far, I've done aptote, barnaby, chank, dumbledore and epinikion. Today's word will begin with F. I shall endeavour to keep it clean.
I had to look up every single one of your A-E words! At least I would have known the meaning of the F word if you hadn't kept it clean.:-)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary!
I'm having fun digging out strange words.
DeleteI listened to the story. I enjoyed it because it's sweet with bits of humor. Men are like young animals, haha! And you have SUCH a good reading voice!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I rather like writing in the first person, because it allows me to say things in character that I wouldn't say as myself!
