This week I'm celebrating:
- Spending some quality time with my daughter in the summer holidays. We've been to my parents caravan at the coast and she really has worn me out. It's been good fun though, and I wouldn't exchange it for anything.
- Submitting my first story for a competition! I don't have much hope for it I must admit, it was a bit of a rush job, but I've jumped that hurdle of finally sending something off. Onwards and upwards now!
- Just feeling relaxed. It's been a long time since I felt this chilled out, and I'm hoping it's going to last. I'm coming to realise what's most important to me, and what I want to do with my life. That's a pretty good feeling.
How about you guys, what are you celebrating this week?
Whatever it is, enjoy your weekend!

I keep meaning to enter competitions, but I always run out of time. I need to make it one of my goals.
ReplyDeleteIt's been one of my goals for over a year, he he. I finally made it so I'm sure you can too!
DeleteEntering competitions are always a great experience.
ReplyDeleteAs is feeling relaxed.
Feeling relaxed is definitely nice, and I hope it lasts. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWell done for taking that step. You never know where it may lead you. Sounds like you are having a lovely summer, hope it continues for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne. It's a good feeling having the first submission, so I know at the very least it's going to lead me onto submitting more.
DeleteCongratulations! First one is always the most difficult. No matter what happens, you know you can submit again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex. I've been one step away from submitting my first story for a long time, so now it's finally gone I'm hoping it'll be the start of something regular. Fingers crossed!
DeleteYou have wonderful things to celebrate. Congratulations on getting a story out.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan. It's taken a long time but the first one's finally gone. I'm sure it'll be the first of many.
